Looks like Gears 3 fell just short of Halo Reach pre-orders...but damn a 3.5-4 million FW opening is now a guarantee!

Who seriously would have thought Gears 3 was going to have Halo Reach like pre-orders about 15 weeks ago?
And here's the Halo CEA one:

F3 dropped out of the list so who knows when it will be back.
