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. 

Why do you even mention profit when you dont know any profit numbers for Halo 5 either?
You only know the revenue number from the 400$ xbox + bundled halo + halo numbers.

The hardware numbers massively inflate that revenue number btw.
Why did MS report it that way? because its "SPIN".

Its PR gimmick to fool people, because its sales wherent as great as older Halo titles did.

Thats why they included hardware costs into the revenue mix of halo5 when they mentioned its revenue.
So they could brag about something not brag worthy.

The irony is that your useing this as a "show me something on PS4 that did better" case, shouldnt be lost on you.

Strange, MS always tell us the Revenue figures for Mainline Halo games. 

Halo 4 at Launch

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2012-11-13-halo-4-makes-USD220m-in-a-day-beating-harry-potter-and-the-avengers-movies

Halo 5 first week

https://www.gamespot.com/articles/halo-5-reaches-400-million-in-sales-to-become-bigg/1100-6431980/

This is launch period so how does MS claim such figures and SPIN it for PR purposes when they don't know how well the game has sold yet? Interesting logic there.
