@pilias_simber,
I disagree with the availability of CoD4 on PS3 hurting 360 sales to a great degree. If we look at CoD2 & CoD3 it shows those titles were not hampered by availability on other platforms when comparing their 1s month sales to the Future prediction for CoD4.
CoD2 was released on PC almost a month before it came out on 360. CoD3 was released on Xbox 1, PS2, PS3, & Wii in addition to 360. CoD4 is only releasing on 360, PS3, & PC on the same date.

@pilias_simber,
CoD2 was a launch game & there was a shortage of 360's available. I already talked about CoD3's situatuion. I don't see CoD2 as a truly valid comparison.

@pilias_simber,
Not in my opinion. CoD3 was a big disappointment to critics and gamers alike. It was not made by Infinity Ward, that fact alone had people less interested in it and then when the reviews came in even more people were less interested in CoD3. CoD2 received a 90 Metacritic rating, CoD3 received an 82 rating.

@Joe80,
To be honest, I am the one that cousing and riding this wave. I thing it was way overrated, and tried to short it time after time, but in the morning after shorting it down 3 points, someone else attacked it further. I didn't have all the money I want to put into in it, so I attacked the stock before its too late. But even if I didn't sell, this thing kept falling. I would say at least 2 others where riding this wave with me.
I think it is overrated, because the Single player campaign is rumored to be really really short, and the multi player competition this year is Halo 3. And whe are talking about November, not december here. VGC has the last one at 478k in 4 weeks. If you calculate Canada out and take a 20% gain from last year, you come up with 516. This year the Title is on the PS3 also, which should take some (not much) sales. So I give it 600k max. And that is my absolute maximum.

I'm just not convinced that people are going to go out and purchase this title over Halo 3 and all the other FPS titles out there in such massive numbers.
While a user base may grow with time, overall sales for particular genres do not proportionally grow, they have limits because not everyone buys more than the major titles in a particular genre unless they are fans of the genre or series.
VGChartz has Call of Duty 2 doing 455k in the first 4 weeks of it's release, and CoD3 at 475k after 4 weeks.
We'll be tracking approximately 4 weeks worth of sales.

@pilias_simber,
You give reason for why it should be in the 0-80DKP range. Higher userbase, from a respected franchise. But also this game is not another WWII game, which will help boost its sales because people have tired of that sub-genre.
The reviews coming in praise it and with Halo 3 out of the way, people will be itching for a new FPS to buy for the holiday's. You also have to consider that this game will be of higher quality and polish than CoD3 since it was made by the original CoD developers Infinity Ward (looking at Metacritic, you see that CoD games made by Infinity Ward score much better than ones made by another developer). Also Call of Duty 2 sold more than Call of Duty 3 on the Xbox360, showing that CoD games made by Infinity Ward for the Xbox360 sell more also.
Due to all these reasons and the fact that this game is being released at the beginning of November, I think it will sell in the 70-80DKP range.

I said CoD4 on PS3 should not hurt 360 sales to a great degree. Obviously PS3 will get some sales 360 could've but its not going to be a significant impact.
And I said CoD2 & CoD3 shows those titles were not hampered by availability on other platforms when comparing their 1st month sales to the Future prediction for CoD4. Yes, they were affected by the other platforms they were released on, but not to a great degree when comparing them to the Future prediction for CoD4.
My statements are based on emphasis to the bolded parts. And CoD4 is in a better position for 360 (3 platforms) in terms of platforms it is also being released on, then CoD2 (1 platform, but it released 1 month earlier) & CoD3 (4 other platforms) were.
