How has Halo 5 done so far?

If Halo 5 seriously has a 24/h peak of 51,000 players this long into its lifespan, I'd call that a resounding success. Wasn't the dropoff with Halo 4 quite severe?

343 claims that it has better player retention than Reach and Halo 4, so that makes sense. 

Here are the concurrent players counts a year after release, as best as I can remember:

Halo 3: 100k

Halo 5: 51k

Halo Reach: 25k

Halo 4: 10k

Damn, Halo 3 was legendary. Those numbers wouldn't look out of place on a PC top played list. I didn't know consoles could even have player retention on that level.
