yes, so not quite as bad as some are making it out to be, since the 400 million did have to come from somewhere

It is bad since that revenue is not Halo by itself and MS had to spin it in PR.LOL you had people predicting 7 million sales by year end and claiming Halo would close the gap globally in the US,so for those facts its terrible.Everything was riding on Halo 5 and it failed to sell units.

less than many peoples expectations isn't the same as bad. While MS did include hardware with the software sales, the total number is still sales of xbox hardware with the game, and it was enough of a boost for them to sell the most consoles in the US last month. Though that could well be more because of the delayed sales of some of the ps4 bundles and less of the xbox sales improving, the sales of xbox did improve.
