you're poll options are a bit optimistic. as it is a new IP there is no guarantee it makes it to 2.5M even if the game is amazing and make by a dev with an amazing rep.

i don't think sony will give this the marketing it deserves and therefore i think about 2 M-ish.

Sony spent 5 Dollars marketing Uncharted 2 and look where it's at. Amazing is'nt it

key part is underlined.  uncharted 2 had a 3M some userbase who had already played the first one when uncharted 2 released.  the last of us won't and i don't think outside of us forum dwellers that many people actually notice the name of the studio who develops the games they play.  ND on the box won't hurt but i don't think it will guarantee all 5ish M uncharted players are even aware of TLoU.
