When people say it flopped, they're talking relative to previous entries. I wouldn't personally put that label on, but i can understand why others would.

depends on your definition of the word "flop". Flop, at least to me, means a failure. Halo 5 didnt fail, considering it sold roughly 1 million in the USA week one. i would call it underperfoming, a more suiting word for it, considering the performance of past halo titles. 

That's the definition i usually use. It fell short of my expectations by a decent margin (which were already a step down from the last 3 major entries), but it certainly wasn't a failure. It says a lot about how strong an IP Halo is that we can look at these numbers as disappointing at all :p
