NOt cherry picking.  Halo sells more than Zelda on a singular console, it is as simple as that.  And if Zelda was as big as Halo then technically that should have made it sell more than the original XBOX. Or we can compare Twilight princess, Wind Waker HD, and Skyward Sword to recent halo.  Halo just seems to be bigger now, and that is all there is to it 

Obviously there is not a game as big as Mario.  Mario is basically the mascot of gaming. Never argued that but i appreciate you calling me a cherrypicker without using any kind of common sense to see what i was saying in the first place

Everytime someone says Halo for Xbox, I think Mario for Nintendo, but that isn't even symmetric. Halo is more like Xbox's Zelda. They don't have a Mario.

Why cherrypick?

tl:dr

WW LTD

Zelda = 75 mill, Halo = 53 mill, Mario = 529 mill

Globally in the US

Zelda = 39 mill, Halo = 40 mill, Mario = 267 mill

Conclusion: Halo =/= Mario, Halo == Zelda

It came in the same level against its competitors. Its not competitive in terms of price nor power. Xbox One has a lot to prove.

Haven't you read that other thread?

It has more and better updates even though it's the same price. That's competitive. Unless Sony reduces the price of the PS4 because it has fewer updates.
