OK, I edited my post above.
My expectations are mostly based on the fact that this is the second game on a franchise which should have a hardcore fanbase by now. The kind of people who can't live without pre-ordering the game.
On a purely anecdotal evidence note, I went to two stores here in Sweden today and the game was sold out. I have no idea if there were big shipments though. Either shipments were low, in which case my European prediction might fail hard, or it proves that there were a lot of eager first week buyers.
