Sales Prediction of Game's The R.E.D Album

Game's RED album is dropping on Tueday, Aug 23rd, and I am going to attempt to predict the first week sales.  His first album, The Documentary (2005), sold 586,000 copies in its first week. That was the biggest time in his career, and he was riding that whole G-Unit movement, plus Dr Dre was by his side, and they made a classic together.

His sales have been dropping with every new album since then, but I think he has matured as an artist, and I don't belong to the pack of people that judge quality of albums from their sales. His second album, with no Dr Dre & no 50 cent, Dr's Advocate (2006) sold 358,000 copies in its first week out. His third one, LAX (2007), sold 238,000 copies in its first week.

Times have changed since then, and there are a lot of new people on the scene, but Game still has a lot of die-hard fans, so I would say The Red Album would sell between 180-250k in its first week. The whole album leaked last week, and I think it is a pretty decent album. Plus, the Pot of Gold (feat chris brown) video is really cool, and that would help give the exposure the album needs.
