Well, I mean, I dont know what you'd call "awesome commercial successes" but 2 and 3 sold almost 7m physical. I'd call that a huge success for any franchise. |
For a regular franchise, it is. For a 80M console's flagship, it's not that amazing either.

Not that much people thought that U4 would sell as much as it's doing, the regular thought was "U4 will have the best review score but will sell less than Halo as usual".
Microsoft usually had the most popular first party IPs (Halo, Gears, Forza). Sony is putting a fight for it this gen (Uncharted), but usually has more diverse and niche IPs (TLG, Gravity Rush). Nintendo has great sellers like Mario Kart. Zelda is weaker than the rest.
