Final Fantasy have over 90 Tittles in 28-30 Years of Franchise so is a little more than 3 Tittles per year.

And Halo makes just as much money as FF on one platform so whats your point?

Exactly. And he doesnt even seem to understand that the reason Halo or rather so many games were made thay tied ro the Halo name was because MS jusy didnt have a lot of high profule IPs so they milked out what they did have as nuch as possible.

I mean just look at this year, by E3 this year ms would have released less than 3/4 exclusives for the whole of the year. And im even adding console exclusives to that list. 

3 out of those 11 Halo games mentioned are spinoffs but lets not denie Reach is a cheap spinoff or Halo Wars or MCC. I proved your point wrong because you question me that Halo doesnt come out yearly and i proved to you it does. 

 

Now your just trying to move goal posts and use spin offs as a reason it doesnt count lol

Sorry guy but Final Fantasy is more Famous than Halo, Final Fantasy Achieved 110 Millions of units sold in 2014  with just 1 Main tittle multiplataform and all the other tittles exclusive for  Nes, Snes, PS1, PS2, Since Halo 1 and 2 were avaliable on PC this is a fair comparison of the 2 franchises.

Spin Off does not affect the main game's Sales.

I Still think that those  "*Halo 5: Guardians and game-related hardware grossed over US$400 million in its first twenty-four hours and US$500 million in its first week*" are Shipped units atleast, because 400US Millions in 24 Hours means 6.6-6.7 Millions of Units sold or over 1 Million of Halo 5 bundles.

If we take into gaming only Uncharted Franchise is worth over 2 Billions of US$ not too far away from Halo (which was the first one to include Hardware in the Revenue Statement) the other forms of Midia are Advertisement for the franchise, and this does not means that is something big only because it exist, for it to be something big it need to be famous (the TV, Animated Series, HQ) for people who don't play the games, like Yu Gi Oh, and Pokemon, are famous in other Midias, Making things in other Midia was just the way Microsoft chose to market it, But Halo isn't famous out-side of Gaming.

Halo's developers (Or it was Aaron Greenberg ?) said that Halo franchise is in the same level  for gaming as Star Wars Franchise is to movies, this is a Misleading statement, because Star Wars is known even for the ones who don't see movies or for the ones who never saw Star Wars and Halo 5 isn't in this level of Popularity neither Uncharted.

Not too far away? $2b to $3.6b is a massive difference, almost twice as big. You saying its not too far off is like me saying XB1 isnt far off from PS4 sales. Twice as big is a fair difference. 

 

And Halo is known outside of gaming just like Mario is. Go up to any none gamer and ask them if they know what Halo is and do the same with Uncharted and i bet you most people know Halo and most people wont known Uncharted. Claiming Greenbergs statment as false is just your opinion. When you have a game grossing $500m in its first week is considered a blockbuster in the movie buisness.

So How the game crossed 500 Millions of US$ First week ? or it had to have sold 1 Million of Halo 5's Bundles (unlikely, the Bundle was 500US$ and had others for 350US$) or it had to have sold  8.3 Millions of units first week.

2 Billions to 3.6 Billions isn't a big gap when you have the biggest Gaming Franchises making Dozens of Billions of US$.

500 Millions of US$ is a Blockbuster on Movies because each ticket cost less than 10US$, but when you boost the numbers with a Hardware that cost 500US$ and also give Shipped numbers to boost even futher, isn't something so impressive.

And only on 2015 that i first heard about Halo, there are a Few games that are known out-side of Gaming, Mario, Pokemon, Sonic, Megaman.

Neither Halo, or Uncharted are known out-side of Gaming.

but Minecraft, League of Legends, World of Warcraft, are.

This is really insane numbers Spain isn't one of the Main Markets but Uncharted 4's launch week did numbers that are considered Healthy  for Launch Tittles on big Countries like UK.

huh what drama?

 

You missed the drama about how 1 OPINION CAN IMPACT GAMERS IN SOOOOO MANY WAYS!

 

*cough...... A reviewer gave U4 a 4/10 which made the meta go down to 93/100. Theres was threads on it that blew the NX threads away! 

 

You should see how much fun I was having reading some of the comments XD 

Is because the Score they gave to Uncharted 4 was 4 out of 4 (so is a 10) but Metacritic thought that this was 4/10.

Isn't because of opnions is just because people want to remove this mistake.

And that's only retail! Ps4 has a really healthy digital rate around 20%. uncharted 4 has taken the series to new heights.  The last of us 2 is going to be insane.

I Wish i had some numbers about my country the Only numbers i got are 5 Millions of sales of Sega's Master System and that Master System still sell 150+ Thousands per year and Next Gen consoles sell a little more than that (Each one) but 7 Gen Consoles still being the ones that sell the most nowdays (the consoles only launched in 2011-2013 on Brazil).

Wow dude are you really going to compare the two? FF has been around since the 80s Halo has only been on the market since 2000s. Halo is as big as the entire FF series in terms of gross, venue and popularity. Let’s not forget Halo is exclusive to only 1 console and occasionally PC. If Halo released on all platforms that 110m compared to 70m will be a lot closer and that’s not bad for a game series that only released 16 years ago.

Halo is almost double the worth of Uncharted, that’s a pretty big gap. Seems like you refuse to accept this fact.

 *when you boost the numbers with a Hardware that cost 500US$ and also give Shipped numbers to boost even futher, isn't something so impressive.*

 How many games come out that gross $500m in its first week? GTA, Cod and maybe a Mario... What else? Those games are all juggernauts in there genres oh i also forgot one, Halo

No that is false, I don't recall any reviewer using scores up to 4, they go up to 5, 10, or 100.
