Halo franchise surpasses 50 million sales
Halo: Combat Evolved was launched for Xbox in 2001 and proved incredibly popular at the time, though it was Halo 2 that ignited the franchise player's passion for online gaming.
Halo 4 has reportedly now sold over 4 million copies since launch and will surely grow over the holiday period.

Published by Microsoft Studios, the "Halo" franchise of games is exclusive to the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system and the Xbox LIVE online entertainment network. To date, more than 50 million copies of "Halo" games have been sold worldwide, driving more than 5 billion hours of gameplay by people connected to Xbox LIVE.”

Surreality To me after Halo 3 everything just went downhill. ODST was a complete failure, The rank system in Reach was awful, and Halo 4 to me got boring after the first week. I just couldn't play those three games as long as I could play Halo 3. But now Halo 3 has become a graveyard. Yet they have still managed to make over $3billion in sales so I must congratulate them, not many companies are able to pull that off.
I feel the same way, except for the part about halo 4. I really like the game.

Halo will never be as popular as CoD but it will always be more fun (In my opinion)
