MS has been doing this PR for a while, last time I knew those games still sold well. No units for any of those PR statements

So... Halo 3 made 300 millions FW, and Halo 4 220M on release date. SOFTWARE. Halo 5 made 400 Software AND Hardware. And 1 $500 Bundle > 8 $60 Bundles, plus controllers, headsets and microtransactions.

 

Pretty sure Halo 5 sold less than Halo 3 and 4 now (well, the PR spin with the hardware was pretty telling already...).  

There is no clear information that previews games were software only.

For Halo the release says it has 2,7mi players wich could mean 2,5mi sold with barely make the $200mi mark with 60$ standards ganes.
