Beyoncé will easily scan 4-5M, Gaga will reach 2.5M even if she releases Swine as the 3rd single, and Lorde is bound to outsell Gaga by at least 1/3 (unless something huge happens).

Katy will sell more than 4M for sure.
PRISM is doubling TD sales. It has sold 2M in less than 3 months and the era will last until 2015. 1 year more at least.

Let's also keep in mind, that while Prism is outselling ARTPOP, it's still by a little bit, given almost three weeks advantage and let's face it, it's not a slayage ala BEYONCE, which is out of reach for other pop females.

I can see ARTPOP doing 4 million with Venus, Gypsy and G.U.Y. being the singles.

How can people predict Beyonce selling 3M WW when it's already almost at 2M? I think it's safe to assume that it can sell 5M.

I wish, but I'm not sure if it can sell 4M, unless she's doing alot of work promoting it in the next couple of months (just like she said, she will). i think it will sell around 3-3.5M and anything above it, would be really great.

"PRISM has been discounted for months on iTunes"
A month at best. It started shortly before the holidays. Even in the beginning stages of the discount, the deluxe version (the un-discounted one) was slightly ahead of the standard version (the discounted one).

I already told you before, you are comparing sales of albums released recently, both are new releases, the gap will be bigger once both eras start depending on singles. Just like TD started selling 190k and it has sold 2.8M in US and 6M WW because the singles were succesful. PRISM will sell better if Katy can release succesful singles like Roar and Dark Horse.
PRISM can easily sell 5M with 2 more hits.
I don't see it for Gaga this era, but anything could happen.

Katy always had two versions, even when the standard was discounted the price was $6.
And the deluxe is expensive. (Around $15).
Gaga had around 2 months of discount on Amazon and it was a significant discount ($3.99).

I think Beyonce could exceed 5M.
US 3M+
UK 700-900K
WW 5M+

Do we have some kind of an issue here? I think we can both agree that Prism was discounted on iTunes way longer than ARTPOP. Correct? The other thing is that Prism is outselling ARTPOP by not huge numbers given the time span between the two releases.The rest is pure speculation.
That said, I don't think Prism or ARTPOP will reach 5M WW, though I wish them all the best. It's still speculation and as you've said, anything can happen.

Do you know something about sales?
You can be #5 on iTunes and sell 20k.
Physical sales are bigger than digital sales. iTunes isn't a big factor in album sales.
PRISM always had two versions on iTunes, while Gaga had a $3.99 discount in Amazon for two months and the physical is $6.96.
The fact that Gaga wasn't discounted on iTunes doesn't mean the album wasn't discounted, the only version of ARTPOP was IN FACT discounted since day 1 for less than $4 in Amazon. And the physical too.
Even UK addresed her discount in Amazon UK that helped her debut at #1.

Yes, I do know something about sales. iTunes is 4 or 5 times bigger retailer than Amazon. And I still don't know what are you arguing here. I only said that Prism was discounted on the biggest digital sales retailer, iTunes, for months, while ARTPOP wasn't (but was discounted, as you pointed out, on Amazon, a smaller retailer).
The thing is, Prism sold more for various reasons - GP like her more, Roar is a monster hit and it had an iTunes discount for months.
Kind regards,
Donnie.

It didn't have an iTunes discount for months.  But whatever makes you feel better.
Amazon is smaller in general but that didn't stop them from selling 500k copies of BTW for $0.99.
Most of ARTPOP first week sales in UK came from the Amazon discount.
