Aren't GamerMetrics reports based on page hits to certain games?
Right now this prediction says that 4 million units will sell in 2 months in the US. One should note that this would likely mean that the 300DKP September future here is over-priced.
Regardless, that's still predicting an incredible attachment rate. There's only about 7 million 360s in America and even if hardware sales doubled over the next two months, that would leave 8 million systems....predicting a 50% attachment rate of a single game in 2 months. For comparison (based on VGchartz lifetime numbers), Halo ended up with a 30% attachment rate and Halo 2 had 40%. Given the incredible hype behind Halo 2 (and that it only reached 40% at the end of the console cycle), can we really expect Halo 3 to pass that in 2 months?
