I think people are forgetting the possibility of this game having good legs. ToV and BD both had awesome legs, so it's possible that a supply-strapped SO4 could see very good legs, and double it's sales over it's lifetime.
Let's give it a week to see what happens to it's legs before passing a lot of judgment.
As for hardware, the 360 is experiencing diminishing returns, as the average sales per week is picking up. Every console sees this. If a Wii game launched, and sold a similar number of software units, it may not see a boost at all. If you look at the hardware sales after a 'big' software title launches, you can see that as the HW install base grows, it takes more and more software units pushed to equal a hardware spike. This is normal, folks.
Now, having said that, I think the 360 should see hardware sales over 10k for the next 2 months, or so. 2009 is blowing every other year out of the water for the 360.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
