I think I agree with you here, however, the PS3 has a VERY hardcore userbase so I think it should go platinum over time.. kinda like Heavenly Sword and Ratchet and Clank... I have a hard time seeing this game reach much more than 1.5 million. It seems like a casual game, but I feel that it is not the kind of game that casuals would like. This is a rare example of a "casual" game that would sell better on the PS3 than the Wii. (do to the fact it is really only going to sell to core gamers)
End of 2009 Predictions (Set, January 1st 2009)
Wii- 72 million 3rd Year Peak, better slate of releases
360- 37 million Should trend down slightly after 3rd year peak
PS3- 29 million Sales should pick up next year, 3rd year peak and price cut
