Let me get this straight Azzanation.

You are saying that Halo 5 having sold WAY less than Halo 3 and reviewed 10 points BELOW, the game is bigger in what way? The franchise is bigger how?

Explain that to us, please.


Do you know what revenue is? Profit? popularity? All this make up the franchise not just in sales. Today there would be barely anyone who doesnt know what Halo is where as in 2007 it was still climbing.

Your argument is that you enjoyed the games more in 2007, doesnt make it bigger. Xbox's bigest franchises all released in the same time period in 2015. Sorry to say but Bioshock in terms of franchise isnt bigger then Halo, TR, Forza, Fable, Gears etc. Neither is half the dozen Japanese games you mention. Thats why its called Xbox's biggest line-up in history.

 

How can a game be more popular by selling less?

How can a game be more profitable by selling less?


To be fair, a better managed development budget can make a game more profitble despite selling less. However, I'd wager Halo 5's budget was actually bigger than Halo 3's.#

To answer Azzanation's points, I'd ask you the same thing. Most seem to favour 2007. You keep listing 2007 releases, and saying these are the reason 2015 is a "greater" Xbox lineup? Hell, your 2015 lineup is also having to draw on remakes of 2006 titles (which were a bigger deal in 2007 than they are in 2015) and ZX Spectrum and N64 games.
