Impressive HW numbers for everything but 360. So since I doubt Pro Yakyuu gave any bump it looks like PS3 baseline sales are in the high 30ks because of Torne. An even bigger bump than I anticipated.

I beg to differ. It will drop again next week and the week after to another baseline.

Yeah, this week was actually a 25% drop, we're not at the new baseline at all yet.  I do think Torne's helped, but you also can't discount the back-to-back 500k+ sellers the previous two weeks... and looking at PS3's future lineup, that's something that won't be happening again for the foreseeable future.  In fact, it doesn't have even one game for the rest of Q2 that's close to as big as Yakuza 4 or Hokuto Musou.

Well we'll see next week, especially since there is absolutely nothing coming out this week. And isn't it a bit early to be judging how Nier will perform? It's a new IP after all. And you forgot Mod Nation Racers. That could probably sell 200k+.

Nier will probably do around what most new bigger budget 3rd party IP HD RPGs have done this gen: more than 100k, less than 200k.  Along the lines of Infinite Undiscovery, Last Remnant, Valkyria Chronicles or End of Eternity PS3.

MNR will be lucky to hit 100k (LBP didn't, just barely).  200k+ is pure fantasy.
