I have a person that posted in forum: (g-cube vs XBOX which would u rather have) that halo is morepopular than mario. I know that some people will say that Halo is better but come on man. Even hardcore XBOX fans have to admit that Mario is more poular than HAlo. And if the certain person that i am talking about is reading this he has to post I will count up how many said mario and halo and post the results as a last message because i somehow cannot make a poll

Mario, purely because he appeals to all ages, you have 30 year olds who love Mario because they played it as a kid, and people older than that. I mean basically to judge popularity talk to your mom and dad, say do you know who Master Chief is, chances are they'll go "Master Chef? Yeah that's that TV program isn't it?" ask who Mario is and chances are they'll know.

ok 1 this is comparing 2 completely different types of franchises.

2nd if we are talking just which one is more popular it is Mario.

The mario brand has been whored much harder than Halo has been. Not that halo isn't set to be whored by Microsoft.

But yeah Mario is King whore right now.....loved Galaxy though.

I wish Nintendo would just make a new 2D mario, featuring the good ol Super Nintendo graphics. They were really creative with the games in the 90s... and after playing Galaxy it's obvious the creativity is still there... I would like to see them apply that to a classic style Mario.

This comparison dosen't make much sense to me. I like Halo better than Mario, although I have enjoyed Mario a lot (SMB3 FTW). A better comparison would be Sonic vs. Mario. In which case quality wise Mario would win. Although in my opinion the classic Genesis Sonic games were the last ones that were made, so Sonic wins lol.

Mario is more popular to the outside gaming world because there he has been around much longer and has like 50 million games of some sort out. Heck he had a cereal and a Staurday cartoon

master Chief has the biggest impact of any single game icon in such a short amount of time though. Only 3 Halo games and look how popular he is. Last game has largest first day sales in entertainment. So larger sales then Spider Man and harry Potter movies. Master Chief is pretty darn impressive for only 3 games.

Mario is still more popular than Halo. Ask any random person on the street who Master chief or Mario is and I bet a ton of more people recognises Mario. Gamers know about Master chief but not so many casuals or non gamers.

Look at Mario galaxy vs. Halo 3 sales.

And then consider that Wii's userbase is 10 million bigger, and you have your answer...

Mario.

In the very end, Master Chief is just another action hero, part copy of Samus Aran (armor). part copy of Captain America (only functional super soldier created in a experiment) that fights aliens. I'm not saying it is not an original character/history, but Mario is much less generic (an "italian" plumper that saves a princess from a giant turtle/dinosaur with help of... mushrooms)

Master Chief is a great character, but Mario is simply the King.

I'm not sure, but somewhere I read that Mario is the most popluar fictional character after Mickey Mouse.

Of course, that could be wrong, but just to be compared with such character sums up how big he is.

You can ask, who's Master Chief? Beyond the gamer community, and some outsiders, no one will know.

Everybody knows who Mario is.

Mario is definitely more popular, but as for what i think is better, i'd say:

2D Mario >>> Any Halo game.

Halo: CE >>> Any 3D Mario game.

IMO, of course.

Mario is obviously more popular. Anyone can enjoy a Mario game but it takes a gamer to enjoy a Halo game.
