One of the things we talked about in the Blockbuster unit was how a lot of big Blockbuster movies tend to have several sequels to them and they eventually end up becoming a franchise. Also that Blockbuster movies tend to have a lot of advertising that goes into them to make them the big success that they are. I think that this is also true for video games. This is because just like Blockbuster movies, Blockbuster video games can also have several sequels and end up having their own franchise. They also have a lot of money that just goes into advertising. Like a video game may have a trailer and posters just like movies. Also just like movies, in video games it seems like the more money that is put into advertising, the more successful the game becomes and if the game is successful than it usually leads to more sequels and a possible franchise.
Some examples of Blockbuster video games that have had several sequels and have created a franchise are:
- Halo
- Halo: Combat Evolved
- Halo 2
- Halo 3
- Halo 4
- Halo 5: Guardians
- Halo Wars

Another thing that I noticed is that most Blockbuster video games tend to not just have a lot of sequels, but that they also seem to have several spin offs for the series and franchise. Altogether I would have to say that from the video games I looked at, Blockbuster video games tend to have a lot more sequels to them than Blockbuster movies, leaving them with huge series that would make the companies a lot of money.
