The PS3 has a massive line-up this year so it will be quite hard for it to compete.

You mean Mass Effect 2?

WTF? It was second a few minutes ago, and now it's not in the top five! (must have been for PS3 games, there's no overall chart)

Maybe it's "popular over the last five minutes" or something?

I looked and I couldn't even find it in the top 100, where you looking at the PS3 only?

its tenth, behind FF13 Xbox 360

I hope that people who are predicting 50/k w/w realize that pre-orders for the game in NA alone already stand at 40k (averaging 4/k per week) with 6 weeks to go. Where has logic gone?

Judging by the US preorder numbers it could do ~ 100k first week in the US alone. Then there is a bundle in Others. IMO it wont have a massive opening, probably under 200k, but it will do a million if the reviews are good Not outstanding, and doubt it will eb a system pusher, but for what niche apeal it has, it will do good

First week 100k-150k

Lifetime 750k-1m

OMG! IT WILL SELL OVER 2 MILLION FIRST WEEK AND BECOME A GIANT HIT!!! HALO REACH WILL FEAR IT'S SALES, ACTIVISION WILL PRAY FOR A SEQUEL AND I WILL BE A HAPPY HAPPY BOY!!!!

(Sobs profusely into pillow)

i'll go with 1.5 to 2m in the long,long run

it has got murder,sex,drugs and guns hasn't it,it might get there

200,000 would be good first week
