2007 was the best xbox line up ever.

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.

 

As a videogame franchise yes, they have been less popular than ever. And that includes Gran Turismo.

As i dont live in the US, i dont know if the Master Chief figurine has been bundled with the Happy Meal of Mc Donalds as a toy, nor the TV series. Im talking specifically as a videogame franchise.

You want a franchise peaked in popularity?

Uncharted Drakes Fortune - 4.88m

Uncharted 2: Among Thieves - 6.65m

Uncharted 3: Drakes Deception - 6.76m

More and more and more, which means: MORE POPULAR.

                               

I am talking as a franchise hence why MS stick to there claim as the Biggest Line-up in Xbox history. Because there franchises are at a peak in terms of popularity. Again Game sales dont tell the full story.

Your comparison is a wrong way at looking at things. Selling a game depends on alot of things. How do you know that UC3 wasnt extremly bundled and advertised or given away or sold cheap to achieve higher sales to UC2?  If you want to judge a game for its popularity by reading sales then go for it.

As a franchise Halo is bigger then ever FACT and expect Halo 6 to continue the tread even further.  

I daubt UC4 will push the same numbers as UC3, if it doesnt then i guess the franchise has fallen to a new low judging by your logic.

 

Halo 1 - 6m

Halo 2 - 8m

Halo 3 - 12m

Halo 4 - 10m (Flopped because it didnt outsell Halo 3) < Your logic.
