Pre orders does not equal sales (many people cancel preorders) and they didn't give out specific numbers for what the game sold. Also, unlike last gen, this gen digital sales are much bigger and are available day one.

Preorder do equal sales. Cancelled preorders do not make any significant statistical difference, so I'm not sure why you are making things up like this.

Digital sales may be higher than last gen, but Halo 5's physical sales are way, way lower than its predecessors. The digital rate needs to be over 50% in order to compensate for such a large drop.

Preorder does not equal sales at all. People forget to pick up the game, they cancel the game, they ignore the game or sometimes they will buy the game at a later date. Also, Halo 5 physical sales are not way lower. It is around Halo 4 league (3.8 million) and if Digital and physical gets counted together is right there with it despite not having the userbase that was xbox 360 in 2012.
