Along it being shipped (according to Gaf), and how quick this game was discounted with B1G1F and 50% off deals, I can see why MS might be disappointed with Halo 5 sales. They were probably hoping the first 3-5 million still throughs would be mostly at full price not discounted.

This is the only way both statements (5million shipped and MS being disappointed with sales) makes sense to me.

Halo 5 didn't get discounts from MS until this year, even in holidays the discounts weren't that big.

Who from Microsoft said that they were disappointed with sales? Got a link to that interview?

 

Here is the link to the Kotaku article and Lionhead employee interview.

Here are some of the discounts. There were more in December but it's hard to find them now.
