Halo then smash then LBP.

I think not a whole lot of people are giving LBP3 enough credit ...

LBP2 was able to pull off 200K+ and if a game like DRIVECLUB can move 150K in it's first week then I'm sure LBP3 can do much more ...

As everyone else has said Halo>Smash>LBP.

The install base difference (especially in NA where it's still relatively close) won't change the fact that Halo and Smash are much, much bigger franchises. Halo is MS' flagship, and Smash is gigantic- looking at last gen and ignoring the Wii branded line of games, Smash is second to only Mario Kart and Super Mario Bros.

NA lifetime
MCC- 3-3.5 million
 Smash- 2.5-3 million
LBP3- 1.2-1.8m

Rough predictions.

The highest selling WII U game for NA hasn't even hit 3 million and yet your expecting it to sell as much as NSMBU in NA ?

^^ Easily. Smash U will be promoted like mad and although WiiU won't sell better than X1 or Ps4 for sure, the install base has and will grow this holiday, with lots picking up SU. Even more so if they bundle special it.

Smash predictions aside, there's been a bit of a shake-up since last gen. NSMB isn't Nintendo's top dog any more, if the 3DS iteration is anything to go by. Few would have guessed that Mario 3D Land would outsell NSMB2 in the long run before their releases. The difference is in the West, as in Japan NSMB2 did outsell 3D Land.

With NSMBU being even weaker, I wouldn't be surprised to see several Nintendo franchises surpass it on the Wii U. Hell, it wouldn't even have gotten that far if it wasn't being bundled with the system.

Yes. Lifetime. It might be a bit high, but 2.5m lifetime in NA seems possible.

As much as I like LBP3, my guess would be either
Smash, Halo MCC, LBP3
or
Halo MCC, Smash, LBP3

Sure NSMB has gotten weaker but I think it will still end up having the best legs on the WII U as It will go on to sell near 1 million units for this year ... 

I don't think bundled games mean a whole lot so long as it's selling the system. It could be a whole lot worse for the WII U if NSMBU didn't exist ...
