Why is everyone predicting numbers higher then GOW 1 when the PS3 traditionally undersells PS2 franchises by 10-20% and GOW 2 sold less then GOW1?

i'd say... 2.3 Million?  Upper limit of 3 million?

That's lifetime by the way.

Because of MGS3 and MGS4

Because the PS3/360/Wii had launched in March 2007

Because piracy was rampant

Because there were many quality exclusives

Because internet hype wasn't as powerful as it is today.

I crossed down the irrelevant arguments.

K, how about these.

1. Preorders. Currently at 310k in America with 11 weeks till release and gaining mininum 15k per week. Will end up with at least 500k, which translates to 700-800k week one in America alone. Who knows, preorders could explode. 1 million isn't out of the question.

2. Bundles. Sony likes to bundle everything this gen and this will be no exception.

3. Other sales for the first two games are ridiculously outdated. You expect me to believe Heavenly Sword outsold God of War 1 and God of War 2? No. Just no. They've been on the shelves FOREVER. In Australia, they're the easiest PS2 games to find which leads me to believe they've been selling well for a long time.
