According to the site we're on, halo has had 1 of 4 or 25% of its main entries reach 10m

gran turismo on the other hand has had 4 of its 6 main entries reach 10 million or 66%.  Also the second game in a gen has always declined in GT coupled with the ps3s lower lifetime numbers and the previous launch of the ps4 explains gt6s performance.  Thus I believe gt can far more easily be considered a 10m selling franchise.

YEt that 10m franchise sold 2m with its most recent installment.  That was my point, if youre going to say one is declining, and then list another one that sells 8m less than its predecessor, that isnt exactly being fair.

You want to talk about a decline.  

GT3 - 15m
GT4 - 12m
GT5 - 10m
GT6 - 2m

I explained the reason for that rapid decline for GT6.  Allow me to repeat.  GT6 is the first one to release after the launch of a new console on the old one.  That is obviously going to effect its mindshare and significantly hurt sales.  Also the second game on a gen usually has a decline for GT and the PS3 had the lowest install base any second installment had faced.  GT4 had over 100m install base when it released and growing pretty rapidly still and it still declined 3m.  I agree that one installment should not effect a series' overall credibility as a 10m seller but for Halo the one that DID sell 10m is the exception rather than the rule while GT is the opposite as even GT2 almost reached 10m.
