While the install base may be smaller, there is also a much smaller list of games to compete with. Resistance: Fall of Man is a good example. It was one of the launch games for the PS3 and since back then the choice of games was far smaller than it is now (coupled with it being a great game) it sold 4.2 million copies, which is even more impressive when you consider it was a new IP.
I'm going to place my money on Shadow Fall selling about 5 million copies in its life time. It's got a surprising amount of hype around it, high pre-order numbers and is a launch title for a console that looks like it’s going to sell huge numbers at launch.
