The Last of Us Part II sold through more than 4m copies during its first weekend. Lifetime sales expectations for the PS4 version alone?

What other AAA games have this big of a drop?  Just because ONE other title has had the same scenario doesn't make it a "norm". 

From the report and the thread on the drop for UK there were listed several games. But you can keep your doom and gloom if you preffer.

Link?  Because I haven't seen any list of it being a "norm".  Also, I'm not being Doom and gloom, I'm simply stating that this game faces a very particular difficult path of hitting the 10+ million status on the PS4.

UN4 had amazing legs when it came out, lasting weeks in the Top 10 (often reclaiming the #1 spot again) and with the Nintendo Switch dominating so many headlines compared to what UN4 had to deal with, I just don't see TLOU2 making that same kind of impact globally.  When the updated PS5 version comes it will really get the numbers it needs to hit what TLOU hit in terms of sales.

EDIT: Off topic but it's funny looking back at 2016 and seeing how much of an impact Pokemon Go had on the series that year.
