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.

Hmmm.... What does it mean then? That the franchise is on the rise?

 

If Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare did 10 million on all platforms combined, would you call that a success and say the game did wonders? Because I doubt Activision would...

4m is not a flop and the game will end up selling 6 to 7m lifetime. Its all about the profits not the sale numbers. Halo 5 made $500m in its first week, twice that of Halo 4 so you do the maths. Anything with Halo 5 on it has made gold. You can sell a game for $1 and sell 10m copies or you could sell a game for $60 and sell 5m copies, whats more successful? Not the game being sold for $1. Sales dont matter, aslong as the profit growth is improving and Halo 5 is far from an exception.

So to anwser your question, Yes Halo is on the rise because Halo 5 made half a billion in its first week.
