I'm going to say it will have outsold Uncharted: Drake's Fortune by mid-February. It will cross 3 million a little earlier than that, and should hit 4 million by year's end, perhaps 4.5.

That would mean that U:DF would have surpassed 3 million by mid-February as well, which means ~60k in ~6 weeks. Do you really see it selling 10k per week, after the holidays? I'd imagine it would sink back down to 5-6k personally.

It sold 28k last week. I think it can maintain 10k per week, on average.

I know it sold 28k last week, but it sold ~5k per week last year during the slower months. I know that Uncharted 2 may push it up a bit, but I really can't see it staying at 10k for a long period of time. Maybe long enough to pass 3 million by mid-February, but I'd expect U:DF to break 3 million more around the end of February, beginning of March period (unless we get some adjustments pushing it up/down to date).

The below is why Uncharted sold 28k last week, and it's also why it should sell much better than 5k a week for at least a few months. :P

They didn't come out in the US until December 26th.  It's a great deal.  Most people won't pass up a game and a controller for only $5 more than a controller by itself, and this will help more people get to know the Uncharted franchise, which will lead to more sales for Uncharted 2.
