Dude you dont have to outsell the predessor to account for a growing franchise. Halo has only grown more and more over the years not less and less. Halo 5 racked in a record $400m+ revenue increase for the franchise, that doesnt mean the brand got smaller but only bigger. Its not always about the physical game sales. Halo today has alot more merhandice, TV series, Hardware, Toys, Microtransactions, TV coverage etc. Its alot bigger today then the Halo 3 days. Halo 5 might not be the most successful selling game in the series but the franchise itself is the BIGGEST its ever been. Its not hard to understand this.

I didnt see Microsoft accounting the price of the CONSOLE to bump up the $$$ for Halo 3 just for PR tho.
Again, how can a franchise "grow more and more" and be "more popular" by selling LESS AND LESS?

Because the franchise is making more and more money. Why is it hard for you to understand? So does that mean Gran Turismo is less popular becaused it failed to sell better then GT5? Is Mario less of a franchise because 3D World failed to outsell Galaxy. Halo 5 didnt outsell Halo 3 BUT the franchise is in another league in 2015 compared to 2007.
