Since when is there a system seller for a system that needs none? TW'07 will not become this, though its brilliant marketing will most assuredly guarantee impressive market sales. Once the Wii has widespread availability I would assign that title to SMG, SSB:B, or MP3. (for the casual or traditional gamer) Of course there's always Wii Orchestra & Wii Fitness that have the ability to further tap into the non-traditional gaming community as Wii Sports has, & could further the console's appeal if that's possible.
*sigh*
Unfortunately only a handful of people on here understand what the hell is going on in this market right now.
SMG and MP3 aren't huge system sellers... no way hosei.
SS:BB perhaps yes... but not as much as you consider, the market has changed so drastically in the last couple of years. These kind of games are only going to serve to cater for the hardcore market, but most likely won't be purchased by a lot of the casuals as they are too complicated. Impossible to make a lot of hardcore gamers understand this because all they see is the opinion of JUST their peers on internet forums and blogs.
Origin, so you assert Gears & LOZ:TP impressive sales are simply anomalies? SMG & MP3, though MP3 less so, will cross the million threshold quite easily. SMG at 2 million+ is a guarantee. SMG catering only to the hardcore? Is this now Halo?
