 When it comes to popularity I think Halo wins by a large margin today. Popularity however does not decide which is the better game.

I could have been even more succesful, but I chose not to, for some weird reason.

~-~There's a lot more Zelda fans but nobody on earth is louder than a halo fan. In other words, Zelda's bigger but it seams like Halo is cuz no one ever shuts up about it.~-~

Are we talking about which one gets more sales? Or the one that's more well known? Because Zelda is more well-known and Halo sells more.

[QUOTE="-cnc-"]

[QUOTE="11Marcel"]Don't know really. Anyone know how much TP sold? Zelda TP is of course pretty popular, but people can also go bananas over halo. I'd think they're about equal. Halo some more in the west, zelda some more in the east. (well, zelda a lot more in the east). makingmusic476

http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/pdf/2007/070427e.pdf

Total Shipments as of March 31, 2007.

GCN Zelda TP - 1.32 million
Wii Zelda TP - 3.27 million
Total - 4.59 million

Looks like it's catching up to Halo.

Halo 3s rumored preorders are catching that.. lol.

 But right now Halo is definently the more popular series.. I'm not sure if people misunderstood the poll or are just stupid to think otherwise :s.

 Zelda definently is popular, but not as much as it was.

Halo.

There are many, many people out there who never touched a game before Halo. Hell, I know people who don't give a damn about Halo's single player, only the multiplayer. One of my best friends in High School hated video games until Halo came out and as soon as he played it he rushed out to buy an X-Box.

I think Zelda is a better series, but Halo appeals to casuals, hardcore gamers and also those who don't care about video games at all.

However. if you mean among the gaming community exclusively (past and present), Zelda is definitely more popular.

Rather pointless Question really. Zelda will always be considered the superior and more popular franchise.

Its a Single Player experiance though so its gonna lose out on the No life 20 hours a day Online deathmatch people. Halo Series sells for its online play. If it was Single Player only it would probably lose 75% of its Sales.

 

 

 

Halo and Zelda are apples and Oranges.

Halo is more popular, although zelda is better, and mario and pokemon would crush anything in popular stakes

Well Halo and Halo 2 both sold around 7-8 million worldwide each. On Average Zelda games sell around 4 million units worldwide though the sales can be as low as 1 million (MM) to as high as 13 million (LoZ the first). TP has sold about 4 million worldwide so far. However despite this you can't really pick the most popular (halo has only 2 games so far, whether or not the series will continue to remain popular or not is still up in the air)

all I'll say is Halo may be popular, but Zelda has like a 10+ count of games, so a lot more people have heard/played Zelda than halo

[QUOTE="Nintendo_Ownes7"]I said "Don't Care, Don't Know, Can't Decide" just because I like both series, and that quote was Miyamoto saying he could make a game like halo which appeals to American Kids but he chooses not to because his games appeal more Worldwide then Halo does.11Marcel
Halo only doesn't appeal really much in japan. The rest of the gaming world likes it. (don't forget europe after all)

Halo 2 6.11 million in US and then 1.67 million in rest the world....Nope Halo not really that big out of the US

Right now half of all Wii owners have got a copy of Zelda:TP Halo 2 was the biggest game on the XBOX and it does not come close to that

Its not fair to compare the two games. 

1.  Halo is an FPS and Zelda is an Action/Adventure Game

2.  Zelda is a single player game.

3.  Most people buy Halo for the multiplayer and Zelda doesn't have any.

Zelda is my favorite gaming series of all time but I would have to say that Halo is more popular... right now.

I saw a Halo mod that let you run around Hyrule field riding horses, and attacking with bombs, arrows, and boomerangs. :lol:
