Firstly, I did not say that, but I did note that is what trends indicate. Secondly, Halo series trends on XBox consoles are not the same as Smash Bros. series trends on Nintendo consoles. I don't know whay you would arbitrarily slap a random Halo game's attach rate on a random Smash game and append the word "logic." My logic is exclusive to the console and series that we've been discussing, so let's please stay within the relavant context.
As I said earlier, as console userbase increased (X360), Halo attach rates decreased (H3, H:R, and H4). X1 has a vastly smaller userbase than the X360 did, when the last Halo launched with a significantly diminished userbase, so it stands to reason that H5's sales would scale down with some measure of proportionality. That's my logic, and I already stated the reasons why trend may not be directly proportional and some reversal may actually be observed.

Well if we use trends the first halo on ech consoles tend to sell really well during its first few months of sale.

Maybe the trend is that there is an established user base that can be expected to buy the game, in any interation. In spite of the varying attach rates, the sales always seemed to be close to ~10M LTD. It could very well be that those users, who have stuck with X1, will buy this game, making this quite hard to predict. One inarguable fact is that Halo has always been successful, and no naysayer can reasonably attempt to posit otherwise.
