Even with decent reviews average marketing the game should sell a million.. anything better and it should easily be in the 2mil category.
so yeah, COD:WaW will be overtaken.
and am surprised people still use statements like "Fps don't sell on wii. They really dontl"

Yes. It's surprising that some people state facts. What FPS on the Wii has been a huge seller? There hasn't been one. The biggest has been Red Steel and that barely sold 1 million copies.
Funny.

Well, let's start by getting a GOOD first person shooter on the system and then consider the sales. Oh look, we get a pretty decent one with CoD:WaW and it blows the doors off all sales expectations from the publisher, retail and analysts.
Now we're getting a game with far more hype, a bigger marketing budget, better mulitplayer and possibly a better single player experience as well. How in the world can you expect it to sell significantly less than CoD:WaW?

Brand name. Killzone 2 likely won't beat Cod: World at War - despite all of the advatanges you listed. That's the way she goes.

Aside from the fact that the PS3 is a different animal and has several good FPS's from which to draw a target audience (as well as genre compeittion), KZ2 won't outsell CoD:WaW on PS3 because Sony has given the game the worst marketing ever for a big budget game. They spent $50-60 million on development but give it the marketing budget of a budget title.
EDIT: Another factor - CoD:WaW on Wii was not given much retailer support at all. Retail support for The Conduit is already much larger. Sega is doing a much better job getting them onboard than Activision did for the Wii iteration of CoD:WaW.
