Sorry I was probably a little harsh on SMG, MP3 not so much. MP3 will probably be a million seller, and SMG I also agree will probably go above 2 million. But a huge number of these sales will come from the current install base. I don't think Gears or TP are anomalies, so yes perhaps I should give SMG a little bit more credit... I just don't know if the planets and the different gravity and small worlds is going to be a huge as people think... I don't know if it's too complicated for most people that are dissuaded by complicated games. What do I think will push Wii into the stratusphere for system sales? Is a high def (480p is enough) sprite based (they can be 3D sprites if they need be) 2D Mario game. They should call it 'NEW' Super Mario World with awesome (even pre-rendered would be acceptable) backgrounds. Paper Mario doesn't count.
