To be fair, this happened to Rainbow Six Vegas, 2 years ago, for the X360.
Gears of War came out the week (or two) before RSV. RSV got absolutely hammered in terms of sales for the first week or two - under 200,000 units (considering how well Advanced Warfighter did, this would be considered pretty bad).
However, as time went on, the RSV numbers continued to remain strong, and wound up with around 2 million sales.
My advice: Don't worry. Given time, R2 may have great numbers, even after an underwhelming opening due to Call of Duty 5. Give it time, and lets comment a month from now.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
