Just added precentages to show how ridiculous the difference is right now. I bet by summer, the difference will shrink a bit, but even if Gears 3 only matches Reaches pre-orders, damn! Reach sold over 4 million week 1, Gears 2 sold just under 2 million. If Gears 3 opens to 4 million, it's very likely the game break 10 million total.

I don't think Gears 3 will add as much for the last couple of weeks though...Halo Reach had a slow start for pre-orders but by the time it got near the release it was adding 100, 200, and 300k weeks.
