You think it can do 2 million on the 360 in the US alone?

So that's around 3 million PS30 US = around 5 million total sales worldwide? I think that's overly positive. I might be wrong, but RE4 sold 4.3 (close to 6 million with the Wii version) million on a combined userbase of some 100 million consoles, plus was reviewed amazingly well.

 

Given the transition Capcom seems to be turning Resident Evil into a scarier Gears of War...I think it'll appeal to the X360's massive shooter crowd. How many third person shooters on the PS2/GC have done as well as the many X360 offerings?

The online Co-Op will boost sales to great amounts. And yes, I think 5m is likely, and even 6m is possible.

 

There are a couple of flaws in your comparison of the PS2/Gamecube and the Xbox 360.

First the Gamecube and the PS2 did not have a dedicated online service.

Second the PS2 and Gamecube  do not offer the services that the Xbox 360 offers, netflex and others.

Thirdly, last gen was not about graphics and pushing the limits of technology like this gen. Those are some of the obvious ones but there are more.

And how do you think that those things would hurt a X360/PS3 version versus what the GC/PS2 offered?

I was refering to your comparison of the Xbox 360, third person shooters, versus the PS2 and Gamecube's third person shooters, and why the analysis is flawed.
