"On October 26th, Rockstar Games launched its highly-anticipated Red Dead Redemption 2, the label's first game built from the ground up for the current console generation. Red Dead Redemption 2 has received outstanding reviews, with numerous critics awarding the title a perfect score. The title is now tied with Grand Theft Auto V as the highest rated title on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, with a 97 Metacritic score. A massive commercial success, Red Dead Redemption 2 has set numerous records, including achieving the biggest opening weekend in the history of entertainment, with over $725 million in retail sell-through during its first three days. Red Dead Redemption 2 sold-in more units in its first 8 days than the original blockbuster Red Dead Redemption sold in its first 8 years and, as of today, the title has sold-in over 17 million units worldwide.

I wonder if that's what they expect to sell throughout the holiday season, or if sell-through by the end of the calendar year will be even higher?

I'm curious, what other upcoming releases could even come close to this? (In terms of shipping this many units in the span of two weeks).
