well i think halo 4 sold well because people were pumped for another game with the chief and it was the continuation of the chief from halo 3. i dont think theres many people who actually think halo 4 is awesome? idk reach was boring but i at least played that a little bit. one good thing about halo 4 was no bloom but theres so much auto aim. now i think it will have less sales. so not a failure but a failure compared to a halo game anyone think the same unless they pull off something crazy as -blam!-
