Combined PS3 and 360 sales - yes it will. PS3 only sales - no 360 only sales - tough call... probably not |
The 360 version is only a million behind it, and CoD4 did better than Gears1 on 360. WaW 360 is currently doing better than CoD4 360 at respective points in time.
Out of interest, I also looked up the sales of a few other titles on the PS3 that had slow launches but went on to do quite well:
Ratchet and Clank - 130,000 first week (less than R2), 1.43 million lifetime.
Uncharted - 135,000 first week (less than R2), 2 million sales lifetime.
Heavenly Sword - 106,000 first week (less than R2) 1.23 million lifetime
Need for Speed Pro Street - 180,000 first week (less than R2), 1.41 million lifetime.
FPSs tend to do better than these games, as they appeal to a greater audience, also the online component will attract new players for a while, and DLC could attract new players and bring in extra revenue for it (needless to say, it won't be a financial loss).
R2 did 270,000 first week without Others, CoD4 did 445,000 including others first week (~265,000 without others)
