However the 360 still has millions XBox fans in North America and Europe who still haven't upgraded towards the 360, this despite nearly all popular XBox games already received sequels (only Fable 2 and the multi-platform game Starwars remaining, coming out this year and there's GeOW 2, so this year should still be fine overall). - I think about 250 first week sales for Japan, over 1 million lifetime sales. - For the North America, about 500K first week sales, but this depends greatly upon the amount of available bundles, lifetime sales over 1.5 million lifetime sales. - For Europe I expect about 550K first week sales. lifetime sales over 2 million. Worldwide PS3 hardware sales for the first week will IMO greatly depend on bundle availability. I expect hardware sales to be of about double that of 360 hardware sales. |

Seems I have been a bit too conservative with regard to Europe and especially Japan where 1 day sales have been much better than my first week estimate. 
I now think worldwide PS3 hardware sales will probably be closer to triple that of 360 hardware sales.
