This post is actually the one that's laughble.
First don't ignore digital sales, the priciest versions of Forza Motorsport 6 were released earlier then the standard editions especially those who purchase it digitally which is mostly why FM6 had "lower sales" than FM5 in fact 6 is just behind 5 and with 6 having a better reception then 5 it should have sold better then it. Also Forza Horizon 3 sold 2.5 million by the end of 2016 and vgchartz has it under 2 million so it is physically undertracked or digital is at 500K or a little bit of both which goes to the next thing
With the mixed reception Halo 5 got, 5 million copies in 3 months isn't bad and by now I would not be surprised if it is around 7.5 million sold now. Again you are ignoring digital for Gears 4 if they are included with physical then it is likely it sold over a million first week. Then you realise that both Halo and Gears are way more popular than Forza and looking at FH3's sales compared with vgchartz you would wonder if digital sales for Halo 5 and Gears 4 are WAY above those of Horizon 3.
Are you forgetting Ori and the Blind Forest? Pretty sure this Xbox exclusive sold well or else there wouldn't be a sequel. Recore will be getting a definite edition that is likely going to be announced at Gamescom that will help it gets sales.
People keep saying the QB flopped but there are 2 things that seem that it isn't the case:
1.When I went to my local Target and went to the games section I notice that Quantum Break was still at full price but for Mass Effect Andromeda and even Infinite Warfare they were both $40. If QB really didn't sell well then the price should have fallen to $20 by now but that wasn't the case but the other 2 did get a price drop fast especially Mass Effect.
2.On Remedy's website a while back they stated that in one of their quarterly results they mention that they saw an increase in profits and mentions one of the key reasons was because of Quantum Break.

I'm not ignoring digital - that doesn't make up for 2-3 million difference between the xbox 360 titles and the new Forzas. Also I know Horizon sold 2.5 million. When did I say it didn't?

Last gen Forzas were mass bundled. FM5 didnt get a bundle. FM6 got a LE bundle that sold out. FH3 just got a bundle this year buts its one of the more expensive xb1 bundles.
But yeah MS has had lots of flops this gen but not all of there games flop. Halo 5 is lower than most Halo games but it can still outsell Halo 1 which is decent. Halo MCC is the best selling Halo remaster. Gears UE and Gears 4 sold quite well. So did Ori and Horizon. Rare Replay, Ryse, Minecraft, and Dead Rising 3 also sold quite well.
