Well a few days ago i read an story here by a vgchartz writer and it said the xbox uk boss said halo 5 is the biggest selling fw game in the uk in xbox history(i looked for it but cant find it it now). This says it made 7.73 million fw so it did better than http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/gaming/news/a677051/halo-5-guardians-makes-more-on-day-one-than-spectre-at-the-box-office.html#~pt0VT9LwRLIGPE

Also the biggest selling fw game in the uk for x1 is cod aw http://www.vgchartz.com/game/81798/call-of-duty-advanced-warfare/UK/ 2013k. Not only this but all the special editions and bundles came with digital copies only and if someoen got it digital they could play it at the minute it launches. It doesnt add up to it selling 150k digital had a huge factor to play here.

edit- and if we add it up first week it sold aroudn 180-190k

edit- I foudn another article http://www.mcvuk.com/news/read/halo-5-is-the-biggest-xbox-launch-to-date/0158047

You misinterpreted it. This article was released on launch day of Halo. She also said “Halo 5 will be our biggest release on Xbox One to date.” Key word there is 'will'. She is probably talking about being their biggest game with their biggest marketing push. The others have already pointed out with sources why your estimate is wrong.

She said it will so if shes so confident that means she based it from pre orders. Either way it still doesnt add up to it selling 150k only first week. 150k retail copies but it must be above 200k if we include the bundles limited editions.
