When GOW2 came out the install base for PS2 was what? 130+ million?

And it only sold 2.6 million to date..

 

1.5 first week will be more then half of what GOW2 did lifetime on a 130+ install base.

When MGS3 came out, the PS2 install base was what? 60 million?

And it only sold 4.0 million to date..

yet MGS4 outsold it on half the install base, and its still selling moderately well

So when is Metal Gear Solid 4 going to break 12 Million in sales, and become a reasonable example of what you're predicting?

No one is saying God of War III will triple the previous games lifetime sales. And as you can see, no one apart from the thread creator is predicting 1.5 million first week. MGS4 is just being used as an example of a PS3 game sold much faster than it's PS2 prequel.

Now read that slowly and carefully before you reply this time.
