The reason I state that it will be a over 100k boost is this. Let's break down some numbers.
I work at 3 separate Gamestop locations but about 80% of the time I'm at my main store. My main store currently has roughly 32 pre-ordered Halo Reach console bundles. The other two are less with one having around 25 and the other right at 20.
So let's assume that that if company wide the stores are only pre-ordering HALF of what my store is doing that alone would still be a 105,000 boost and thats just from Gamestop, not counting ANY sales from other big retailers like Wal-Mart and Amazon. Now lets be a little more generous and say that company wide our 7,000 stores are closer to my other two stores I work at and hovering around 20-25. That would be a boost of 175,000 units from Gamestop alone. Simply visit the Bungie forums and look at how many people have held off upgrading their systems to the Slim because of the Reach bundle.
Halo Reach is defiantly be a hardware pusher no doubt.

I'm gonna have to go to my Gamestop sometime soon and see how many Reach 360's are pre-ordered.
And you also have to remember that there are still 3 weeks left to pre-order the Reach 360.

After reading that I called 2 gamestops and I was suprised to find out that one store had over 200 (WOW) pre-orders of Halo reach 46 of which are bundles, and the other store which was in the mall had 92 pre orders 15 of which were bundles.
So I say 300-400k easy.

Wow thats honestly quite low....is it a pretty small store?

Well its a tiny store inside a mall, I think the preorder sales are low because the other store I called is on a main street not even a mile away.
