Halo 5 probably did not do as well as Minecraft. It is down to Microsoft's PR phrasing:
Halo 5: Guardians, leading to it becoming the best-selling digital game ever in the Xbox Store for an opening week.

Minecraft continues to set records on Microsoft's Xbox Live Arcade platform
Unless I remember incorrectly, Microsoft changed the name of its digital platform with the launch of XOne. So, Halo 5 is definitely the best selling XOne digital game, but we cannot use Minecraft to compare the two games. Clever marketing, though.
