Don't forget Week 1 sales will be NA only, no Europe release until July 10. So it will probably be more like:

Week 1 130K
Week 2 50K
Week 3 100K
Week 4 65K

Something like that, I am not making a prediction just trying to illustrate the likely trend. I have heard Podcasts estimate total sales worldwide to top out at 350K by year end, I think that given a 100-130K, it has a shot of 500K or higher.

Also, I own it, I have been playing it and it is a lot of fun. I think depending on where you come from, a 7.0-8.5 is an appropriate score range. Some of the reviews have been overly harsh and punitive really. I think it is a superior title to WAW on Wii.

Your thinking is about the same as mine only I don't think it will tail off immediately since people will be saving their July money for Wii Sports Resort.  So I said 300k 750k-1.2m ltd.

Also, I agree with your impressions.  With its flaws, anything much over a 8.5 is too high (IGN over-rated it a bit), but anything below a 7.5 is too low.  Normally, I wouild exclude The Edge because they rate everything low (except Prototype WTF?) but I think a 4 is low even on their scale.  This is not a below average Wii game.
