Going by VGC data...

Super Smash Bros Melee (JP):

Halo 3 (America):
2.84m first week on 7.64m X360's (38%)

Some interesting first month sales...

Gears of War (America):
1.32m first 4 weeks on 3.97m X360's (33%)
2.10m first 8 weeks on 5.08 X360's (41%)

Mario Kart 64 (JP):
1.06m first 4 weeks on 1.71m N64's (62%)

Pokemon Ruby / Sapphire (JP):
2.43m first 4 weeks on 4.01m GBA's (61%)
3.70m first 8 weeks on 4.94m GBA's (75%)


Remember, these games also move quite a few consoles, which makes the attach rate a bit lower. For the multiple week sales, I took the final totals of the userbase (when Pokemon R/S came out, GBA was at 3.8m).
