The bundle is not included as the number allegedly comes from NPD, so standalone physical copies only.
I made some calculations based on the numbers you gave. Halo 5 might have sold between 2.8 - 3.0 million worldwide. That's still lower than how much 3, Reach, and 4 sold in the US alone.

According to which source?
VGC has all of them at about 2.4m for the first week in the US. (none of them were digitally available at launch)
Halo 3 is obviously the pinnacle of the series in terms of sales. It had an insane first week considering how early it came out in that generation.
I doubt anyone was expecting Halo 5 to beat that when even Reach and 4 couldn't with a much higher userbase. And that brings me to my second point. Was anyone expecting Halo 5 to outsell Reach or 4 in the first week when there is this huge discrepancy in userbase?
Just because Halo 5 isn't close to the monster launch that was Halo 3 doesn't mean that the numbers are low.

NPD numbers. Also, I said Halo 5's worldwide sales are lower than US sales of Halo 3, Reach, and 4. I didn't say they were low.
