Looking at everyone's guesses here and the number of different factors affecting that $400m statement, it sounds reasonable that Halo 5 sold around 3M week one and shifted around 300000 consoles meaning a lot of 360 owners jumped to X1 this week. The rest of the revenue is made up by extra controllers (likely special edition ones) headsets and REQ packs. So a massive success and we will likely see lifetime sales of maybe 8M which puts it in the ballpark of Halo:CE and Halo 2.

You may very well be right about the 3 million, but 300k of those 500$ consoles is extremely high. The bundle is so overpriced compared to other bundles(heck even the standard console with no game is better value) I have trouble believing it sold anymore than 50-75k.

Agreed but I think MS is doing a little bit of trickery here and added in the boost in total console sales and attributed that boost to Halo 5 (which is pretty logical) meaning hardware sales include the SE version as well as standard edition consoles.
