no Halo holds it's own but its still overrated. It's named the best FPS franchise of all time by most xbox fans.

Halo's strengths are as followed:

1. It has a strong and compelling storyline.

2. Its controls are spot on.

3. Its the first game to make vehicles truly useful in an FPS.

4. Good replay value

5. Great Multi-Player

6. first launch title that was truly good. 

Halo's Weaknesses:

1. Story isnt original.

2. controls are great but there is still better

3.  to few vehicles

4. Not the best FPS ever made; that title belongs to GoldenEye 007, Unreal, and Half-Life.

5. Slower pace then most FPSs when on large scale maps; please see Unreal.  

Anyways look at my list.... if you noticed there all Xbox titles.  

Again, SSJ, that's about the quality of the game, not about its ability to sell consoles. Halo could be the worst game ever created, but if ten million people bought a console just to play it, then it's a system seller. The reverse can be true as well: Metroid Prime is actually often considered one of the ten best games ever made (judged by Metacritic), but it wouldn't even breach the top 50 PS2 titles in sales.

most ppl here b*** about how crappy a game is when they never even played it... there are games that may be a 9/10 to you buy got reviews that are... 5/10. and there are 9/10 games that makes you go... mehhh. Back on topic. I think pokemon dungeon is underrated. It's not appealing to many, but it's got unique gameplay. There's a whole lot of things that I don't like about it, but still deserve higher ratings that were reviewed, IMO. Pokemon Dungeon 2 has been announced. Hopefully, it'll be better than 1.

I think that new IPs in general are really over-rated. There are only a couple of games that really sell big, and they are usually established franchises.] If you are talking about system sellers, then an individual game will not do it, there needs to be about 5 or 6 games that are really incredible, which is why people say that a lot of PS3s will be shifted this year Just taking the PS3's lineup later this year as an example, the main (exclusive) games are: Uncharted, Lair, Heavenly Sword, Killzone 2, Warhawk, Haze (non-exclusive GTA) If you look at those games, Uncharted and Heavenly Sword are probably the only ones that are going to make someone buy the system outright, but the others will tip them over the edge (maybe not Killzone compared to Halo). I put down GTA IV because it will sell bucketloads, 14M copies of SA were sold, and I would guess that about 10M will be sold before the end of the year (even with there probably only being about 25M 360/PS3). Quite a lot of people will get a PS3 for this because of those other games, that they want to play more than the equivalent 360 games

 I think FFCC: Crystal Bearers will outsell FF13 2 to 1, and DQ IX will outsell FFCCCB 2 to 1 =P
