Because people played it more than H2 and HCE combined. It was the sole reason why people bought XBOX 360s in the first place back when the system was new. It still was back in 08-09.
Sure we can argue game mechanics, the br spread, and other crap all day long but there is no disputing that H3 really 'blew up' Halo. Did HCE or H2 have those glorious Halo advertisements such as the battle recreation or the one with the old men, who used to be UNSC, talk about battles with The Chief? No.
Simply, there are a lot of memories with H3 that I and many others will have. Alas time moves on and so do video games.
HCE paved the way, H2 took it to a new level, and then H3 reaped the cash in when a crap ton of people bought and played the game.
Agreed for the buying a 360 part, after Halo and Halo 2's campaigns, i could not wait for Halo 3, but was seriously let down campaign wise.
The marketing campaign was top notch, definately one of the best i have seen in a long time
MP was similar to Halo 2 although i did not enjoy it as much, it was still a blast to play with friends ;)
