Ugh it does and can change everything. Infinite might not sell asmuch as Halo 5 due to a digital future and Game Pass. Does it make it a decline even if it rakes in record profits much like Halo 5 did? I can make a graph showing how much money Halo makes which is more important than physicsl sales, as sales dont tell the true story here. Also the pretty graph you made is correct as they show a decline over the years, but lets not ignore as digital gets bigger yearly so a physical decline is expected.
And to prove my point is that modern Halo games have outsold the previous Halo games on average (yes except 1 in Halo 3) Reach and 4 eclipsed 1 and 2. Halo 5 failed i agree but that doesnt mean the franchise is in decline. Its 1 game.
I am amazed so many people are willing to jump on Halo over 1 underperforming game (which probably sits on 6m to 7m possibly higher than Halo 1 and 2. X1 is not a creditable platform. It has alot of bad press which would have affected sales. OG Xbox and 360 were consoles that were praised by the critics and gamers. Alot easier to sell to the public.
A better question would be how many Halo 5 games would have sold on the PS4?
Is your argument going to say Mario 3D World put Mario in Decline because that game umdersold on a platform in a similar situation to the X1 when it comes to reputation? No. 1 decline doesnt put the entire franchise in decline plus it takes 1 game to put it back on the map as we have seen with Mario Odyessey, Zelda BOTW, God of War etc.
