If they don't pull impressive marketing tricks before release and get excellent ratings I think it manages around
100 k in US
12 k in Japan
80 k in Others
The press they have been getting so far is mixed, and the first feeling anybody gets about this title is uncertainty. Also, titles like Army of Two and Unreal 3 have had launch weeks with less sales. I'm giving around +20 k in both territories for exclusivity in expectation of some additional visibility and hype from Sony during Gamer's Day.
I'll adjust my prediction closer to release. This is an interesting title to watch since it's been cancelled so many times and the ratings and overall press coverage and hype they manage to build just before release, and the actual quality of the game are still quite uncertain, although some recent previews are promising:

If previews like this keep appearing, the game might end up selling another 20-50 k more WW launch week.
