Well we know that COD4 sold 1m in the UK already and that the PS3 is closer relatively to the 360 there. Burnout Paradise sales were fairly evenly split 53:47.
Realising of course that my method here is almost as flaky as VGC, take 10% off for PC and say you take a 60:40 split (3:2) of 360/PS3, that's 360k already. The UK is traditionally ~30% of the European market so you could extrapolate that *reasonably* to 1m+ in the EU alone without factoring in the PS3 doing much better on the continent. Given Japan has sold a few here and there, add inCanada, Australia and weigh in the US sales (has somebody extrapolated a rough figure for those given the quoted 2:1 & 3:1 ratios?) and you have an extremely well selling PS3 game. One that will continue to sell given the relative lack of decent FPS' on the system.
I've no idea exactly how many it's sold and I don't propose the above method as a reliable way of working that out but I do feel on a GLS basis this is well undervalued. It's still Top 10 and #2 on the PS3 charts here and we've budget/catalogue sales to go yet.
