With the current userbase and its tendency towards FPS plus the hype that it's generating even amoung friends of mine who didn't buy the first installment, I'm going to put first week sales in the 2.5m region.

 Did you even played the first one? Its TPS not FPS.

About 2.50m worldwide, week 1.

Strong holiday period, ala Gears 1, and will finish at about 8m lifetime.

i expect it to sell about 2.5 million to 3.5 million during its 1st week. and around 7million to 8million, because they consider this franchise to be its other monster seller like halo. you will see it advertised everywhere possible, in the movies,magazines,tv, 7-eleven, they might even try mountain dew again.

2.5 million WW 1st week...8 million all up.
How does anyone think this will sell less than the first one? Userbase has more than doubled since Dec'06. The first game had a stellar marketing campaign(the 'Mad World' cinema ad was genius...a real attention grabber). Factor in a price cut/bundle and this could be the biggest seller for 360 to date...



Playing: Borderlands(great co-op,HUGE amount of content),Too Human(better late than never lol),Saints Row 3(Penetrator ftw),Minecraft 360,Harry Potter Lego. 

Patiently waiting for:  Tomb Raider, Borderlands 2

Firstly, yes I own, played it and finished it. Secondly, relax with the TPS/FPS. Point taken though. I was was just pointing towards the market on the X360 for shooters.
