Here's some quick math, to give this debate an air of reasonability:

Destiny made $325 million in week 1, by selling 2.43 million units (according to VGC).
Halo 5 made $400 million in week 1, by selling a maximum of 1.23X as many or 2.99 million units.

If you believe VGC's Destiny sales estimates, then we have a benchmark (not just random guesstimating and sniping).

Did Destiny data included all kinds of hardware and software and not only the game revenue?

Because that's the main point of discussion here, Halo 5, the game, didn't movedf $400M in game sales. That's accounting a lot of stuff related to it, as very expensive $500 bundles with the console being most likely accounted at full price.

As said in a post earlier, if the bundles account for 200k, that alone would make $100M. And that would only account for 200k sales to the game. Which would need 1.666M sales at full price ($60) to account for that.

See the disparity? 100M there can have a gap of almost a 1.5M of game sold to another 100M.

Others have said that this is softward only, which stands to reason: MS manufactures and sells the hardware and the software; Activision Blizzard only manufactures and sells the software.
