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."

Halo had a massive decline since Halo Rearch/Halo 4. Halo Reach/Halo 4 sold less than Halo 3 despite having a much bigger install base by the time the games were released. Halo 5 just seem worse due to being the first one to be released on new hardware after Halo 3. Halo 3 really benefited from having no competition.

Franchise fatigue son. If you really think the install base is the problem then why was it outsold by Black Ops 3 first week, and almost by Fallout 4, first week with both being multiplatform titles?

Same reason why the older Cod out sold Halo Reach / Halo 4. More popular games. The only games that are more popular than Halo this year it seems is Cod for Xbox. The only other AAA game that is more popular than COD and Halo is GTA on Xbox. Top 3 overall isn't too bad is it now?
