: I don't know if should have an end or not. I do think it should have a rest,

: comes out, or at least nothing major (which would leave action figures,
: art books, re-issues of novels, stuff like that). I think if Bungie had
: sole ownership of Halo they would be giving it a rest, if not now then a
: few years ago or a few years from now, and I think that Microsoft will
: need a lot of evidence to be convinced to do this, and if they ever are
: convinced that evidence will almost definitely come in the form of a major
: drop in sales.

I feel like the franchise has a good amount of rest periods. If these rest periods are beneficial, I'm not sure. There's definitely a surplus of excitement for major announcements after a long quiet period.
