Halo REACH... will... er reach 9m before the holidays and then a further little boost should occur I hope.

After 6 weeks Gears 3 now has 71% of Gears 1 lifetime sales and 69% of Gears 2 lifetime sales.

Based on those figure how much more do you see Gears 3 selling over the first two ,  I feel  about 4 mill on top of Gears 2

No way man! That would be 10 million! 

Personally I think 7-8 million will be the max. 

Yes my  4 Mill is on the high side and optimistic but I came up with that figure on the basis that it has almost sold 3/4 of what the other 2 sold LTD in 6 weeks and if it continues on that path with some bundling then it can get close ,even  if it drops off I still think Kowen's  9 mill is gettable.

IDK I guess the reason I think that's nigh impossible to get 9 or 10 million is because for the past couple of weeks it's been selling significantly less than Gears 2 did. Now I know that Gears 2 released later than Gears 3 did in the year so it had the benefit of Holiday sales from launch until the end of the year but Gears 3 is still selling rather low even though the Holiday sales have started up.
