I think it sold around 3.8m.
~350m= 5.2m Halo 3 for just software.
~400m has some subtractions from hardware and microtransactions.

A year ago Halo sold 60m. The franchise got 5bn with Halo 5. Without Halo 5 it is 4.6bn.
Using proportions we get 5bn x 60m / 4.6bn = 65m
That suggests 5m but it is obviously less due to Halo sales within a year and the PR suggesting it is both hardware and software this time.

So my rough guess is 3.8m-4m

Yes. Halo 5 made less software revenue than Halo 3 or 4 (or else they wouldn't include hardware in the comparison). Halo 3 and 4 made ~300M FW on software. So Halo 5 made less than 300M in software alone. 

 

Xbox 360 owners played Halo 3 for 40M hours FW, Xbox One owners played Halo 5 for 21M hours FW. 

 

In UK, Halo 5 made 7.7M£ FW for software. Halo 3 made apparently more than 20M£ (from Neogaf). 

 

So, we know AT LEAST than Halo 5 sold less than Halo 3 FW, and we should start with this maximum evaluation : any evaluation leading to Halo 5 being the best selling entry in the series is wrong. 

 

And Halo 5 sold less than at least one third party game. Do we know what is the fastest selling game on Xbox One? Titanfall? Destiny? How much did it sell? It will give another maximum evaluation.

 

If we take the previous fastest selling One first party game sales, and the fastest selling 3rd game party sales, then we'll get two border stones. It will already be easier to discuss with that. 

Ive been saying the fastest selling exclusive is titanfall with 900k fw.on a 3.1m installbase
