Halo franchise up to 46 million games sold worldwide
According to Microsoft, Halo has so far generated $3 billion in revenue, there are 120 million pieces of user-generated content in Halo 3 to date, and 5 billion hours have been logged into Halo games via Xbox Live. We won't speculate on what all these figures may rise to following Halo 4's release next week.

Lol, while you get noob tubed and killed by over powered weapons. You've fallen in the CoD scam. Just new guns and maps. DLC is horrible.
Lol you have fallen with an extra 21st chromosome. "Just new guns and maps" I guess you arent aware of what a sequel is. How is Halo 4 different from Reach? Spartan Ops?(COD already has zombies so it would be pointless for them to try and add something else) New guns? New Maps? Well according to you, that doesn't make a new game.
Then again CoD is a Multiplatform game.... it is repetitive and takes no skill at all. Pick up a real shooter like BF3, Gears or Halo you sheep.

Dude really? Cod is on 4 different platforms and has made twice as many games as the Halo franchise. So of course it has sold more and made more money. Halo is on only one platform and holds the Xbox records.

And Call Of Duty never make any improvements. Halo is better and it would have more saled if they released one every year.
Another downie on TTG.
You don't improve something that doesn't need improving. You children can tell yourself cod sucks all you want and that it needs improving. But a COD game is ALWAYS the #1 most played game on XBL and its been that way since MW2.
Halo Reach tried to make improvements from Halo 3 to compete with COD. Want to know how that turned out? Reach is considered the worst game in the series.
Actually Minecraft surpassed MW3 a time ago as most played on XBL. And that's not a good mentality to not fix what doesn't need fixing, that's called being lazy. Black Ops 2 is supposed to be different in gameplay supposedly anyways. The main reason COD has more sales is because casual gamers can play it. The Wii generated more sales than the Xbox 360 and PS3 (not sure if that's still true) because casual gamers would play it. While Reach had bad points it implemented good ideas. Some people complained about ODST as well which I thought was a great Halo game it had subtle differences which made it more challenging and the Vid Master achievements were intense.
I wouldn't say quite a time ago, about 2 weeks ago. But hey, Call of Duty had a good 5-6 years of being on top. What game can't a casual player play on Xbox? I've been playing Halo for about 8 years since I was 10 or 11, I was a dumb kid, and it was still an easy game.
The whole casual argument is becoming quite old.
