Halo is officially getting milked. More Halo games than just 4,5,6.

[url=http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/06/21/halo-reclaimer-trilogy-expanded-to-saga]Link[/url] [quote]While Halo 4 was originally meant to kick off the "Reclaimer Trilogy" for the series, Microsoft's Phil Spencer says it won't be limited to a trilogy. "While we originally said trilogy, we've actually expanded this to more of a saga," Spencer told GameSpot, "so we don't want to limit the Reclaimer story within a trilogy." Spencer declined to specify whether the Xbox One Halo title was Halo 5 proper or a spinoff of sorts, opting instead to say that it's "a legitimate version of Halo" Microsoft will detail in the future.[/quote] So There was supposed to only be Halo 4,5, and 6, but now that trilogy is apparently going to be a saga, which is 6 games. Microsoft sure loves their milk.

    They'll kill the IP then. Halo 3 sold tons of 360's on its own. That game was an event. It was the sequel to Halo 2. It had been three years (can you imagine three year intervals between Halo games?) How many people are foaming at the mouth to play Halo 5? How many people will buy a $500 console just to play Halo 5 or whatever they're putting out next year? Microsoft has no other blockbuster IP (Gears of War is done) so Halo has to carry the Xbox brand. If they had just spent the money over the last decade they could have fostered a big new IP that takes some of the weight off Halo.
