650,000 - 850,000. Most probably less but who knows, there is a lot of people with bad taste lately.

And you look like the kind of guy who actually tried the demo... :/

Yeah the demo was....ok. Its not worth 60 bucks though.

anyone have cover art? sometimes that will sell a couple thousand in itself.
as far as not knowing much about it, and that name along with 360 console i'd say
460k short term (4-5 months) lifetime 1.15m

I say it will at least do a million lifetime.

I mean... it's going to get a big advertising campaign right?

Kane and Lynch sold over a million.

I am not sure how big the marketing campaign is but we all know that for a very disappointing game, Kane and Lynch did quite well.

sure it will! with an install base of 20m, you cant go wrong.

The demo is one of the most popular on live so people are at least interested, whether that transfers into sales remains to be seen. I'll probably get it when its a little cheaper but I'm going to make a wild guess and say 1 million copies.

It needs to shake its Haze-y image off first. It has a good release date and Madden and NCAA football games won't compete against it. So it has a pretty good chance to sell well before quality RPGs hit the stores.
