I never once said SoT or Halo 6 is going to sell gangbusters and outsell Mario or Pokemon etc haha.

MS have games on there own table that can push there own hardware. Weather they outsell Pokemon and Metriod is another topic all togother. To think Rares next big game or the next Mainline Halo game wont push Xbox HW is niave. 

You really either have a problem in text comprehension or you decide to understand what you want.

It isn't SoT or Halo 6 selling gangbusters... is they making X1 sales gangbusters.

No it isn't naive. Will SoT or Halo 6 push extra 5M HW sales each? Probably not. But Mario and Pokemon will probably add that to the userbase in quite few time. And why is it? Because the console is on its early days and they are the first out of stablished franchises on the console while Xbox is on its 4 year and Halo was already on the console and SoT is a wildcard. So you can't pretend your prevision of it doing great for the HW as anymore valid than a better historically stablished prevision of it not pushing much hard, no more than 1M sum probably.

They dont have to sell gang busters to sell systems. Halo 6 will sell well and sell systems, it doesnt have to outsell Pokemon to achieve that.

Yet you choose to ignore that 4 is also the 3rd best selling Halo game in history.. the game that is on decline? how does that work with your formula? You basically put a full stop on a franchise because of 1 game failuring to sell extremly well? And Halo Wars was never a good seller even on the 360 with the very first game and its marketed towards a completely different audience which is niche on consoles. 

Developers can change sales, they can aim high, they can market there games better, they can change or add new features to a game to have it sell better than its predecessor. However you seem to think because Halo 5 and Halo Wars 2 failed to outsell there last entries its game over for the franchise and that Halo 6 and Halo Wars 3 is nothing more than a mediocre selling game and no longer mean anything?

Glad that is your opinion not mine.

Why would i need a formula to know that:

Halo 1 (5.5m) < Halo 2 (8m) < Halo 3 (12m) > Halo 4 (9m) > Halo 5 (5m)

You can clearly see how Halo 3 was the franchise at the top of its popularity and then the decline to Halo 5, basically as popular as the first game, even lower.

Numbers. Dont. Lie.

Still bypassing or ignoring the fact that Halo 4 outsold Halo 1 and Halo 2. 

#1 Halo 3 - 12m

#2 Halo 4 - 9m

#3 Halo 2 - 8m

#4 Halo 1 - 5.5m

#5 Halo 5 - 5m (What if Halo 5 surpasses Halo 1? :O)
