1. Based on sheer volume of ppl playing it and the interest it drives, it very well could be. Does it make more money then the cods and destinys of the world? No. But it is still a massively popular game especially for being on a single platform atm. Either way it's a big pickup for them.
2. You think because a game hasn't been announced it won't come out? By fall 2018 it will have been 3 years since a main halo game. I'd be shocked if we don't have a new halo as there main title for next holiday season.
3. I'm aware they aren't developed by MS but they were still published by them and funded by them. They may not own the IPs but if the consumers supported those games then MS surely would have green lit a sequel but neither were very well supported by the consumer. And these games were attempts to expand there exclusive library.
Personally if I was MS I'd be going to a lot of Devs and trying to make some exclusive deals to revive some franchises and ones that might be cheaper and therefore less of a risk. Splinter cell, lost planet, bioshock, ninja garden and mass effect were all at one point or another Xbox ecckusives that have at one point been huge sellers that have disappeared. Ea basically shelved mass effect after andromeda but if MS came to them with a wad of cash and said make another and we will back it I think they would and it would get gamers on there side considering the live that franchise has. The best selling lost planet was the original and it was 360 exclusive for quite awhile. Talk to capcom about revitalizing it. The worst that happens is they say no. Best thing happens is even a Couple of them say yes and you expand your library of exclusives and all it costs us money which they have to spare and some of those franchises probably wouldn't cost as much as say a rise of the tomb raider or titanfall did.

Halo 5 was announced in 2013, only to come out in 2015.
You think Halo 6 will get announced AND released in less than a year?

MS had been on record saying they didn't like how they were announcing games so far in advance and are changing that model. If games like wolfenstein and fallout 4 and AC origins can be announced and released in the same year what makes you think a halo game that has been in development at least 2-3 years with assets already in place like the engine what makes you think it wouldn't come out in 2018? MS has been known to have a huge release every fall and they really only have 2 big franchises in gears and halo. I think it's too early for gears so it has to be halo. This is the first year in awhile they haven't pushed a huge exclusive for the holidays and that is because of, at least I assume there big push bring the X
