@Just_Ben, I live in Orange County, CA and on average 1 out of 2 kids go online with their system (almost all of them do with their phone or computer). I work with youth on a daily basis. Not sure if this is a good sampling of the US or not, i would imagine that these kids which have iphones and drive beamers are a good sampling of the high end. Meaning, the ratio should drop to below 50% in other parts of the states. Most of the kids dont care to play online, they just play single player or 4 player and have a few friends over.
If this sampling was 100% accurate/even that should put the game at 2.4 million sold.
The reason I think 2.4 million is a good number is because i read quite a few gadget and game blogs. The amount of people who even have HD tvs is lower(there are always polls or stated in the comments). The idea i am expressing is that technology is not as available/affordable. Therefore it makes sense that people wouldn't be connecting their video game system to the net as much in those places. Connecting your video game system to the net is a luxury. My sister-in-law lives in North Dakota and the internet is an extra expense that they forgo by using public terminals. e.g. library, colleges, etc...
I think we will see that number reach 2-2.5 million connected over the course of the next few week.
