Using that chart that Reasonable used (thanks!) ME2 is still 350k units ahead of ME1, without a Japanese release.
The big issue I see (purely IMO) is that ME1 was released in November compared to January for ME2. That means that if you track a week-to-week number for both Mass Effects, ME1 is around the first week of January, coming off of Christmas, while ME2 is in the middle of March...Not as much shopping going on then.
I think that given the content of what ME2 is, it will have a nice run between 10-20k/wk for a long, long time. If it doesn't, though, we know that the legs really weren't that great.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
