I agree with most of the posters in this thread: good sales that fall short of spectacular. The sales of Lair and Warhawk from last week should provide a pretty good barometer of how Heavenly Sword fares. My gut feeling is that the same relatively small crowd of serious gaming fans are going to be the ones to purchase all three games, thus leading to similar overall sales. If Warhawk really did 150k sales last week (including online ones), then I'll guess that Heavenly Sword will be slightly up from that, in the general range of 200k. (If it has a Lair-type opening week under 100k, that would be very bad.)
The real question will be what type of long-term legs all three of these games demonstrate, of course...
