Educated guess based on actual data? When you consider they're literally off by half a million for some games, yeah sure you can call that educated if you want, I'll stick to my version of common sense though, which is the VGC number supplied by actual reports.

Black Ops 2 massively undertracked, confirmed by Gamestop CEO: http://www.computerandvideogames.com/373063/black-ops-2-breaks-gamestop-pre-order-record/ - Currently at VGC: 393,906 under Modern Warfare 3.

Assassin's Creed 3 massively undertracked, confirmed by Gamestop CEO: http://www.ign.com/articles/2012/10/25/assassins-creed-iii-pre-orders-break-ubisoft-record - Currently at VGC: ~45K above Revelations (520K launch) despite the Gamestop CEO saying it's nearly double Revelation's numbers already in reality.

So Halo 4 is conveniently enough the only one tracking accurately? And please don't reply claiming more of this  "there would have been some press release", Microsoft hasn't done that since 2007 for the Halo franchise.

Anyways, believe what you will, I know I do, we'll know soon enough mate.

Never said Halo 4 pre-order data is accurate. Don't put words in my mouth.

However VgChartz is the only website to provide actual numbers, so its all I can go by for now. Sorry. 

BenVTrigger confirmed a month ago that Halo 4 pre-orders already broke the million mark at Gamestop.

We had Halo 4 at 700k at that point. He further added that Gamestop accounts for approx. 80% of all pre-orders in the US. Therefore the pre-order numbers should've been at ~1.2m at that point. 7 weeks from launch.

Now our Halo Reach numbers might be quite wrong as well, though they had been 630k with 7 weeks to go.
