Halo 5 : "Industry sources support our belief that Halo 5 digital sales were much closer to half of units than the 20-25% GameStop is suggesting."

The analyst said "We" as in the company. Also, there are sources stating this was the best-selling digital game ever in the Xbox Store for an opening week. That is better than the average 20-25 percent for sure. Here is the source. https://news.xbox.com/2015/11/04/halo-5-guardians-biggest-halo-launch-in-history/

That's not how it works. 20% of 2 million copies is 400k, 20% of 1 million copies is 200k. Obviously you could have the same digital percentage split for games but that doesn't mean the number of copies will be the same.

Considering bigger games like COD AW release before it, not too hard to imagine game like Halo 5 doing better than the average.
