It will break 1 million by March or April and go on to sell 2 million at least. The games is starting to the that "buzz" that is required for a Wii game to become a huge hit. I hear people who are not core in the least bit talking about the game.

Maybe they are talking about it because Call of Duty is one of the biggest series on Earth right now? You may also hear people talking about Wii Fit, Halo, Guitar Hero, Rock Band, Mario Kart, etc. and not be core gamers. It's called popularity and word of mouth. Someone's girlfriend, or mother, or Uncle, or non-gaming friend may have heard of Call of Duty because there are over 10 million people playing it and sometimes the name gets around because people won't shut up about it. My mother knows what Call of Duty is, and she is a complete non-gamer. She won't even play the Wii. This doesn't necessarily mean they are showing interest in purchasing it. They just happen to know it exists.

Frankly the only way I see COD: WaW approaching 2 million is if Activision skips out on giving the Wii Modern Warfare 2, otherwise I say it's sales will be replaced by MW2 when it comes out.

 

The "common sense" says so, but I think that it don't ever apply to Wii. Look at: Call of Duty 3, EA Sports 07 and 08, Naruto: Clash of Ninja, DDR Hottest Party... They all have seen an increase in sales after their sucessors released.
