Hang on, people are stating that Uncharted needs to sell 7 million in its lifetime based on what the Halo series sold on a console that at the time all 3 were released, had a significantly amount more consoles in the wild, really?

People seem to be forgetting that by the time Halo 5 hits, the Xbox will have what...15 million consoles worldwide? Halo 5, no matter how good it is, will not hit the sales of the previous ones simply because the userbase this time around is a hell of a lot smaller.

The Xbox 360 had around 13m consoles sold in November of 2007 when Halo 3 launched. Similar numbers.

Edit: This site really needs a multi quote button.

True, but like others have said its a series on the decline.  Halo 3 sold the most on the lowest install base.  Followed by Reach and then Halo 4 being the lowest (when there were the most consoles sold)

Halo MCC has hardly done anything to address that either, suggesting "around" a 17-18% attach rate for what in halo terms is probably the best deal money can buy!

To beat Uncharted, the attach rate would likely have to be at least double that to stand a chance.  your looking at probably 40%, or 2 in 5 people buying it.  That would mean Halo 5 would have to technically sell more than any other Halo in terms of ratio than before.  Never going to happen.
