Gears of War is currently at 509 on SX for lifetime sales this despite the fact the game is currently assessed at 4.82 million Sales to date on VGC with weekly sales still hovering around 15 and 20k.
Now GOW sales may well fall away completely when GOW2 is announced but as this game is what I would deem an online classic it will continue to garner reasonable but not fantastic sales for months to come helping the game nudge up to and just passing our prediction before GOW2 hits the mean streets.
This is also certainly going to be repeated with COD4 due to its brilliant online gameplay. So unlike most single player games it will not fall off as sharply and will hit a plateau of reasonable sales normally for a lengthy period of time. In addition both these games are candidates for bundling in the future making both susectible to spikes in sales.
Just my tuppence worth but I think 430 reasonable and more possible.
All that aside the marketplace is awash with good FPS titles on the 360 and you do wonder just how much more cash these guys have.
