The decline in the Halo franchise... Again... Look at the graph is more than 1 game.

And you are right, it only takes 1 game to put the franchise back on track... Which is why more than once I have openly stated that Halo: Infinite needs to be judged on it's own individual merits.

Okay so than we can safely agree on and say Halo is in decline on the physical sales front only but not as an IP since current Halo is making more money than it even has before? That's basically my point. The IP is not in decline much like many would like to believe however physical sales is in decline ironically since we move closer and closer to a heavy digital future. But lets ignore the millions of digital sales here and just count physical charts.

Also just to add, physical sales does not determine a IP decline. Halo as an IP has most likely grown bigger and bigger through the years. Don't be surprised if Halo Infinite sells less copies to Halo 5 but break a Halo profit record next gen. Because like this gen pushed digital sales heavily, next gen will be pushing not only digital sales, but game services (Game Pass) and Streaming services (xCloud)
