Assuming that stock is pretty much sold out, this would put FF7R above Spiderman, GOW and UC4. Biggest PS4 exclusive launch of all time.

FF7R will easily sell 10 million+ on PS4 alone.

What did the other 3 sell in the same timeframe? 

God of War: 3.1M
Spider-Man: 3.3M
Uncharted 4: 2.7M

FF7: 3.5M

FF7 is shipped but since its sold out in nearly every country (sell through in Japan was a record breaking 96%) its pretty safe to assume sold is close to shipped.

Honestly 10 million is the conservative estimate. UC4 is at 17 million, GOW is at 15 million+, Spiderman did 9 million in 2 months, 13 million in 10 months.

Not necessarily.  Keep in mind that all three of those other games were all heavily bundled.

If you look at the sales curves of those games, they tend to have the initial launch, then a huge spike of a few million as they hit their bundle period.  As opposed to games like Witcher 3 or Call of Duty WWII which have their big launch, and then sell at a fairly consistent rate afterwards.

Unless it's bundled, which doesn't seem likely, you shouldn't expect the size of the launch to equate with those games.  

Bundles is a moot point. Every best selling game has bundles, Mario Kart, Zelda, GTAV, Minecraft, UC, TLOU, COD, FIFA etc

Thats just wrong.

Spiderman: 3.5M 3 days, 13M 10 months

UC4: 2.7M 3 days, 8.4M 7 months, 16.2M 3 years

GOW: 3.1M 3 days, 10M 12 months

HZD: 7.6M 1 year, 10M 2 years

Witcher 3 and COD outsell 99% of exclusives. In fact there isn't a single exclusive this gen that has outsold W3, 28 million.
