I think that the games I listed are the ones that will fight over the first place this gen (If we leave out the Wii series, that is). Of course, possible sequels to those titles like CoD 5 or a possible SMG 2 will have a shot at the crown as well, though it seems that usually the first game on a new platform sells better than the second intallment.

NOTE: I'm only talking about home console sales here, if we take in handhelds, things shape up quite differently.

Thoughts?

Was going to write that you left out the game that was likely to sell the most this gen (non-bundled) - Wii Fit.  But then I saw you excluded the Wii Series.  Apart from Wii Fit Mario Kart is definitey going to be the biggest selling (Wii Play doesn't count cause it's a Wii Remote that comes with a demo)
