I have concerns that MP3 may not do well because of who currently owns and who will be able to find a Wii by the end of this year.
I believe the majority of Wii owners are the casuals followed by the Zelda fans. Nintendo faithful who aren't interested in Wii Sports or Link and his adventures has probably held off on buying a console since there isn't any games out there for them and the systems are a pain in the ass to get. Nintendo could have sailed through 2007 without any of the 'Holy Trinity' titles and still would have sold every last Wii made. The launch of three high quality titles (along with a handful of other good to great ones from third parties) is just going to make it that much harder to find a Wii this holiday season. (Want to make some extra cash at the end of the year? Buy some Wiis and sell them on eBay.)

Don't worry about it. If Metroid fans can't get their hands on the Wii before Christmas, and Metroid is as good as Metroid Prime was, it will have legs instead of selling in a burst. Look at Zelda -- a percentage of the people still buying Wiis buy Zelda because they're Zelda fans. The same thing will happen with Metroid, Galaxy and Smash.
