MS has shipped way more than 3 million at this point you can count on that. If they did 2 the first weekend and Gears 2 performs anywhere near the legs of Gears 1 you can bet they're pushing near 4 million shipped by the end of the week. If NPD reports close to VGC on Thursday you can also bet they are not too far off WW either. At the Gears one ratio at 2 million for November in the US for Gears 2 it could see another 1.6 million in December. That is merely using the ratio of Gears 1 sales in 2006 for Nov and Dec. They would have to push shipments way further than 3 million by this point. That is just simply the math of having enough stock through Christmas week and that is merely the US.
