Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Platform exclusives: “Nothing is bigger than Halo,” says MS

Wow... now that is one arrogant statement to say, when Mario outsells it almost every main iteration. Hell NSMBWii has a chance of outselling Halo 3 by 3:1



Vote the Mayor for Mayor!

I bet he's 'forgetting' about many Nintendo franchises. Oh, and maybe Gran Turismo too.



Saying that Master Chief himself is the direct cause of Halo's continued success/growth as a franchise is asinine.



Pixel Art can be fun.

I believe he's talking just from an Xbox/MS platform perpective.

Gran Turismo 5(GT5+Prologue+digital sales) is outselling every Halo to date, and GT5 is considered to be one of the weakest GT's out there.

I thought only Sony said arrogant stuff. Either way, I care less what executives say.



"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY."  --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials 

 

Conservatives:  Pushing for a small enough government to be a guest in your living room, or even better - your uterus.

 

Gran Turismo and Mario...

 

Gran Turismo 1 through Gran Turismo 5 (not counting prologues and shit) are at 54 million sales, Halo CE through Halo Reach (including ODST) are at about 42 million. 

That's 5 games in each series and GT is up by 12 million. 



Pretty arrogant.

Gran Turismo is one of those games he obviously forgot about.
The Mario franchise is huge so I guess he's just ignoring it as well.

Yes, Halo is HUGE but it's not what it used to be. Call of Duty has been the new king for a while. Maybe that's why they're adding perks to Halo 4...

Locked.



Oh and he also forgot Kinect Adventures! It's sold more than Halo 3 already and it's the #1 best selling game on the 360! Why no love for Kinect when promoting Halo? Maybe he wants to avoid being compared to Wii Sports sales at 77mil+? :D
