Nobody said The Last of Us would outsell Halo. It was just used as an example to demonstrate the huge buzz the demo has generated. Of course 2012 sequels to Borderlands, Resident Evil and Halo would be getting more preorders at the moment than a new IP that doesn't even have a release date.

Good bit here, although the OP did say "a sign of things to come?". Still, the result is a fest of unneccessary straw clutching.

Maybe I'm missing something here, but so far most have provided their personal opinions on why they think it'll sell the number that they posted, and the lowest nomination I've seen is 2.5M, which for a new I.P would be a great start in either case.

Would you have been happier if everyone went "Yep, 7M easy" even if they didn't believe it?

Also, maybe all this 'straw cluthing' isn't even there? Everyone's comparing Halo because that was mentioned in the OP...
