Multiple games vs. one game, sounds fair.
The Halo franchise has grossed $1.7 billion, Reach alone made $200 million on its first day, blowing away the expectations. Madden 10 has fared below expectations since it's release, probably because people aren't in as big of a hurry to spend $60 on a game that's pretty much the same game as the year before. It's just as easy to wait a few months and buy it when the price drops.
Bottom line is that in the current economy, sports games are having the hardest time, while wizards, swords, and guns (sometimes the combo of all three) are doing fine.
