Reach's first trailer. ~3,900,000 views since two years ago
Halo 4's first trailer ~6,600,000 views already (around 5 or 6 months ago)
Even Reach's World Premier Trailer is miles behind, with ~4,000,000 views.
What is going on? Were so many Halo fans turned off by the lack of the iconic and badass Master Chief? Was it simply the fact that Reach was more of a 'spin-off' than it was a main installment? The sound and look of "Halo: Reach" just, IMO, screams "spin-off!," and I imagine it did for others too.
Don't get me wrong - I'm not trying to say that popularity has everything to do with success or anything inherently positive, but surely this is saying something...
Right? Or am I missing something? Sure, Halo 3 and Reach are hard to compare because they took place in such drastically different market environments, but Halo 4? Not so much. Perhaps I'm overlooking some things, but this was just an odd observation I made.
