Care to give any reasoning behind 70% of sales in the first 2 weeks? Even Halo 3, in 2 weeks, sold 50% of it's LTD sales for 2 whole weeks.
Any game, at a minimum (at least in the West) WILL have a 2x ratio from Week-1 to LTD. However, a 2x is considered pitiful, and reserved for atrocious games.
Gears has the massive advantage of being sold so near the holidays that it's assured to sell above 100,000 units/wk for the rest of the year. That's a major advantage for the game.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
