"Slimebeast (on 01 September 2012) I am happy for Borderlands 2. Quality open world games with lots of content deserve success. A million copies first week in the US alone!! That means it has potential for 6-8 million lifetime and for Borderlands to settle in as a truly huge franchise up with games such as Fallout, Resident Evil and Assassin's Creed"

Wow! (sarcasm) You said this two weeks ago when pre-orders were already extremely high!

You had me thinking you made some epic prediction last year or something.

Looking at the other 9.8 rated games, Borderlands 2 looks to land in the mid-to-high 90s.
