If the game sold worse than any other mainline halo in UK, it's pretty safe to assume the decline happened in all Europe territories considering xb1 userbase elsewhere except US. Don't see this game reaching 10m unless it's heavily bundle for the rest of the gen. 8m is my prediction.

8 million is very very generous.  The user base of xbox1 is at 14 million after 2 years.  I'm not sure if xbox1 will get to 50 million user base lifetime.  About 3 years from now, it is very doubtful that xbox1 will be at 40 million.  Assuming best case scenario that in 2018 there are 40 million xbox1 consoles sold, that's a monsterous 20% attachment rate for 8 million Halo 5 copies to be sold.  

historically Halo has easily exceeded that attach rate on various releases. whether it will this time though I am not so sure. Will be very hard to track though as only MS will have numbers due to high number of digital sales. So we are reliant on them telling us the numbers.
