Halo is as big as the entire FF series in terms of gross, venue and popularity. Let’s not forget Halo is exclusive to only 1 console and occasionally PC. If Halo released on all platforms that 110m compared to 70m will be a lot closer and that’s not bad for a game series that only released 16 years ago.

Halo is almost double the worth of Uncharted, that’s a pretty big gap. Seems like you refuse to accept this fact.

 *when you boost the numbers with a Hardware that cost 500US$ and also give Shipped numbers to boost even futher, isn't something so impressive.*

 How many games come out that gross $500m in its first week? GTA, Cod and maybe a Mario... What else? Those games are all juggernauts in there genres oh i also forgot one, Halo

With shipped Numbers ?, almost every big game because the Bundle alone usually cost 5-7 Units of the game. and as i said Halo 1 and 2 were on PC, the 110 Millions of Units sold for Final Fantasy was on 2014 where the only main tittle avaliable on PC was FFXIII.

65 Millions to 110 Millions is a big difference.

And back with the 500 Millions in Revenue this means  over 8.5 Millions of units sold full price at retail even if the game had a lot of legendary edition it would not be less than 8 Millions units sold first week you need to boost it with Hardware, Compare Software with Software Halo 5 sold 2+ Millions at Retail First Week lets say 5% is of Legendary Edition this is over 130+ Millions of US$ First week (with the Microtransactions and other related items it  could have been 140+ Millions), GTA V Sold more than a dozen of Millions day 1 and even so it did over 1 Billion in Revenue in the first week.

It is unfair to  use Bundle's revenue together with the Hardware's revenue just to make the numbers go up.

I am not sure where you’re trying to go with this. Halo 5 is still regarded as a box office success, it brought in half a billion dollars in its first week regardless if it bundled or not because in Halo 5's case, it was the most expensive bundle on the market which means that gamers brought that bundle because they wanted Halo 5. Unlike the UC Collection for PS4 which was the cheapest bundle on the market, which means that gamers would have flocked to it even if they didn’t want Uncharted because it’s the cheapest option. Halo + Hardware + Digital + Merchandise clearly shows that Halo 5 is an amazing success even if you disagree. Numbers don’t lie and in this case, $500m isn’t something many games can do. Will see if FF15 makes that much in its first week.

Ever way, if it’s got Halo 5’s name on it, it should be counted because it’s all part of it.

And just FYI, Halo 5 is most likely sitting on 4m sales (Not including Digital) and it has already made its money back. The back will probably die on 6m sales by the time Halo 6 releases. Doesn’t sound like a bad number to me, after all Uncharted games sell 6m per entry.
