Quite agree - the majority of uneducated (in the franchise, not in general) buyers will just look at the picture on the box rather than the title. If the OP's argument held water, we would see no successful game series because they would all be subject to the chicken/egg paradox. I think the name will only become important if they release another game for consoles in order to capitalise on the success of the first...

P.S: HALO is also an acronym for High-Altitude Low-Opening, but are there even any parachutes in the game...?
