Final Fantasy franchise wasn't Multiplataform until 2009.

And i gave numbers of the DVD Sales, Final Fantasy also isn't known outside of Gaming even with this success of sales. And i doubt that Halo's Novel sold Millions of units.
 

The difference is your comparing a franchise which only started to sell millions from 2000 compared to a franchise which was selling millions back in the late 80s early 90s. I am not taking away from the success of Final Fantasy, it’s a well-placed franchise but let’s not forget FF has been available to many though out the years. FF7 was available on PC and just about every FF game for the 7th gen was multiplatform.

As for your last post. Halo 5 isnt just a modest success, Halo 5 has done wonders, just because the game didnt sell aswell as there previous game doesnt mean the franchise is dieing or on the decline. Game sales is only part of the Halo Universe. Star Wars doesnt have to sell many DvDs to make money, it earns its money off heaps of other things, much like Halo. I dont need to defend Halo because money talks and thats exactly what Halo is doing, $500m in its first week is something not many games can do (Hence i said not many games). As for FF being known outside of gaming i have no clue, i am sure if you ask anybody that are not into games what FF or Halo is they will say most likely say "Isnt that a game" and i am pretty sure FF isnt as big as Halo when it comes to merchandise and books eand life outside of gaming etc.

I Was refering to the Sucess of Halo Outside of Gaming 11.5 Millions of combined numbers of Art Book, Novels, Comic Books, and others.

Final Fantasy sold 4+ Millions of DVD with just 1 Movie and even so isn't enought to make it well known outside of Gaming, and Final Fantasy wasn't a Mult-million Seller until the early 90s because Final Fantasy 1, 2, 3, were only avaliable on Japan, The Only main-titles avaliable for PC was FF 7, and 8,  it was when Internet was niche, Final Fantasy never was in 2 consoles at the same time (in the same generation) until Final Fantasy XIII.

Star Wars is a Movie Franchise well known  for people who don't even see movies, this is much more popular than Halo, only a  very few Franchises  are able to claim that, like Pokemon, Sonic, Mario, Megaman, Street Fighter.
