More POPULAR? Not in any stretch of the imagination. Higher SELLING? Yeah.

Halo is more popular because it isn't just a game series anymore. I've seen novels, toys, machinimas, parodies, cartoons, comics, t-shirts, drinks, dolls, sculptures, and for even the THOUGHT of Halo having a movie rose a huge turnout of people hoping for it not to mention the ungodly and extremely active fanbase, including the tons of people who even just sat outside of Gamestop on launch day.

As far as popularity goes, Halo eats just about every other possible video game franchise. As far as sales goes, GT sells, or is bundled with(I wasn't tracking last gen) more then Halo.

But doesn't this have something to do with the fact that we live in America?

Then show me the European Gran Turismo soda, books, comics and movies.

It doesn't have a soda, book, or comic I think. Neither has a movie.

Although I know GT has very nice watches! People have branded their cars with GT logos. I'm sure there is more. I just spent 5 mintues with google search.

I know these are fan-made...but really...when a game gets THIS kind of stuff made about it just from fans:

A Thundercats fan trailer, made by editting movies frame by frame.  Have I proven that fan trailers don't prove relative popularity or do I need to look for more?

WOW!! i didn't know they where fan made!!  If ms ever pulls their head out of their ass and start production of the Halo movie especially since peter jackson is supposed to make the movie, that would increase Halo awareness worldwide so much!!  not just halo fans would watch it, people that like action movies would watch it, and everybody knows that peter jackson is damn good at making films.  it would most likely convince tons of people to buy halo 3!!  If they ever get around to making the halo film, and if they make it good, Then it could possibly be one of the best things to happen to videogames in a long time.
