The franchise moved from the PS2 to PS3,so I'm sorry for the people that are underrating the game's potential to move hardware.
Fable II moved 360 hardware by 10%,the game releasing in America only,now GoW has a much bigger fan base than Fable,and the game is releasing in both America and Europe in the same week,and also GoW III is looking to be even bigger than Fable II.
So i would expect a hardware boost around 20-40%.
So...75k-100k is looking to be the highest boost it can get.

A.  A 10% boost heading toward holiday is different than one in March. 

B.  How do we know it was because of Fable?  Numbers go up and down 8,9, 10%  all the time.  Wii sold about 10% in Americas last week versus this week.  What game came out last week to drive higher numbers?

C.  A game releasing in in year 3 of the generation is going to be more likely - on its own - to persuade someone to buy a console than a game in year 5.  More people have made a choice of one (or two or all) systems.  More people are going to evaluate the whole catalog.

 

To whomever said "It's like saying Alan Wake won't move 360's".  Do you really think some obscurely named new IP is going to have people rushing out to pick up 360's?  No one knows anything about that game except for the people on sites like this.  And 99% of us have our consoles already.  Alan Wake on its own moves zero 360's.
