@ BenV
the problem with your logic is that
1. Gears 3 is closer to release and had a very successful BETA and great E3 Buzz, retailers are more likely to be persuading customers to preorder it, every time I go go a game store they always ask me to...
2. Most games this week saw a decrease for some reason, and PS3 games never really have high preorder numbers.
3. Preorders dont just happen over night, games like GRFS and Rage have been available for preorder for well over 12 months. Halo CEA was just announced last month. Regardless, Halo CEA is just a full price HD remake with a few Reach maps. I doubt its going to sell more than 2 million units.
