Yeah I know the difference, Profit = Revenue - expense. $400m revenue is massive for a video game and that would equal to a good net profit unless you think Halo 5 cost more than $400m. That would be a laugh. 

$400 million / $60 = 6.666 million copies.  So any game that so that many units at standard retail had revenue of $400 million.  Not as exclusive or impressive as you are trying to claim.

And Halo 5 certainly had a development budget and marketing budget that pushed well over $200 million. 

So how do you know that these copies are sold at $60 in every store globally when each company sells these copies at there own set prices/discounts

Also do you have a link for that budget of Halo 5 or is that an assumption? Because evidence would be nice to back up your claim. 

Sales is just a number, its how much money that number turns into profit.
