I was only looking at PS3 sales, BL doubles what DS sells. Maybe one of us is looking at something different.
Anyway, I believe that Borderlands is a game that appeals to a wider variety of gamers, while Bloodborne is aimed at a very limited target audience (hence niche). It will not sell well, no matter what gaming forums say, because hardly anybody outside gaming forums will venture to buy it. It simply looks uninviting and unmarketable.
As for Japan, if PS3 version of DS2 barely managed to sell 350K to date on 10 million consoles, I find it ridiculous to believe Bloodborne can do 250K+ first week on a million consoles (this part not aimed directly at you, but on predictors in this thread). It should be considered a major success if it tops 100K.
