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?

You're expecting Sega to significantly advertise on TV ? Because that seems to be what finally gave CoD:WaW Wii a lift and maybe I watch the wrong channels but aside from Mario and Sonic at the Olympics I haven't seen many Sega TV commercials....

That's not the only thing that gave CoD:WaW on Wii a lifft. The sales jump came about because retailers ordered significantly more product. The game always sold for the first several weeks but was horribly supplied for the first several weeks to. They finally woke up to the demand and ordered much more product and at the same time the TV campaign launched.
Sega has allocated a much larger marketing budget for The Conduit than any other their previous Wii titles except perhaps Mario and Sonic. You will see commercials, you will see retailer marketing, you will see print and online media ads, etc...
