I remember the threads were it was given as certain that Halo 5 and Gears 4 each one would do much better than basically any PS4 exclusive. Those were the days. Most have left VGC, hide away or pretend that it isn't important anymore.

We have no idea about actual sales of Halo 5 & Gears 4.

On Neogaf, Frank o Conor, posted "Halo 5" did almost 5 million sales abit after its first 3 months.

With Gears, all we know is its had ~6.4 million players, that have played it. 
With Gamepass/resales/trades/multiple users for same disk,... its hard to say exactly how many sales that is.

Since then? nothing.
So I still think Halo is bigger for sales than Gears is, on xbox.

I feel like if Halo crossed 10m sales, someone at xbox side would have announced it.
With 40m+ consoles out there, if attach rate was ~25% it should be possible to do.
Im guessing its under 10m.

Meanwhile Sony has 6? games over 10m, and a few reaching towards the 20m mark.
install base gives a huge edge though.... like if you manage to sell 130m+ consoles, its hard to imagine you dont sell a few 10m+ titles of your own.

10-20% more sales due to bigger instal base could be argueed more than it we don't have data to suggest it. But we do have plenty of evidence with series staying about same sales with largely different install base. PS3 had 87M and still only a couple of 10M+ series.
