I've seen labels do both. If I'm not mistaken, wasn't Katy's label predicting 700k? Usually when you see early predictions like these, it's the label's expectations. You won't see a true industry projections (Billboard, HITS) until the week of release.

Kanye/Jay label predicted 400K and it sold 436K so sometimes they have an idea.

HDD reported that "the industry" thought Katy could beat Eminem's 750K debut.
BTW was predicted (again, by "the industry) to do 700K...then when Judas happened those were lowered to "at least 400K."

It was an "industry insider" who was smoking crack.

700K. Now I know why those continuous discounts and promotion came in handy. They were trying as hard as possible to make up for their loss.

Lil Wayne's just-released "Tha Carter IV" album could have the second-biggest sales week of the year, as industry forecasters suggest it may sell 700,000-850,000 copies by the end of the tracking week on Sunday, Sept. 4.
"IV" will easily bow at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 next week -- marking Wayne's third No. 1.
If "Tha Carter IV" launches with at least 700,000, it will immediately mark the second-largest frame of any album this year, behind Lady Gaga's 1.11 million debut with "Born This Way."
The hip-hop icon's new album, which was released at 12 AM this morning (Aug. 29), follows a pair of top-two sets for Wayne in 2010: "Rebirth" (No. 2) and "I Am Not a Human Being" (No. 1). They launched with 176,000 and 110,000 copies, respectively, according SoundScan.
"Tha Carter III" in 2008 famously debuted at No. 1 with 1.01 million copies sold in its first week, according to Nielsen SoundScan. It is one of only 17 albums to have sold a million in one week since SoundScan began tracking data in 1991.

Wayne's sales are extremely impressive considering the fact that How To Love had a late start and didn't hit number one like Lollipop did.

Wayne seriously gets on my nerves. He needs to be banned from music.
