I for one, wasn't very excited about the game until a few months ago. But having seen gameplay footage and such, it is now a first day purchase.
My predictions:
First week: 350k - 400k
Lifetime(if not bundled) 1.5 - 1.75 million
Lifetime(if bundled) 2.3 million - 2.5 million

I was the same way... I was very "wait and see" until a few weeks back. Now I'm excited to pick it up.
Still, I can't help but think with the underwhelming reviews and the mixed bag of trailers (some did the game a disservice), that sales will dissapoint. This will be another letdown for Sony.
I'd say probably 200,000, being generous, for the first week. That said, if word of mouth is kinder than the inconsistent reviews, your lifetime estimates could be spot on.

underwhelming reviews?
it was reviewed a 9.2/10 on IGN and 9/10 on Gamespot... those are the only two sites that matter. Dont think anyone visits JoesGamingSite.com and places like that which metacritic gets its scores from

Game Informer and EGM were giving it mid-8s, and many of the more casual sites (Penny Arcade, Figit, others) have been critical of it. If you were to read one of those reviews, then see the last trailer that came out, you'd think it was crap they were being generous to.
I purchased the game, and am thoroughly enjoying it. It is flawed, but it was worth the purchase.
