Are scores from PSM (and similar biased sources like Xbox magazine) included in Gamerankings/Metacritic?

What, only 3 mill for MGS4?
Gears of War was released in Nov 2006 when the X360 was 12 months old and had a total installed base worldwide of only 5.2 million consoles.
I'm sure you know what GoW has sold in the 1.5 years since that - 5.2 million copies (without bundles)!
The PS3 will have an installed base of 13 million consoles in June. Yes, attach rate will be a lot lower, but I predict MGS4 lifetime sales 4 mill minimum, but probably close to 5 million.
