NSMBWii vs GT5 (AKA I just made a bet, tell me if I'm an idiot)

I was going to ask what people's overall expectations for GT5 were, but if they haven't changed since this thread, http://www.vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?id=83417, PS3 fans are expecting far too much from it. It may not have sunk in what the comparatively small userbase means for even the really big titles.

Doesn't matter how small the userbase is.

Well it does... of course it does.

but yes it doesn't affect it proportionally (so half the userbase will not mean half the game sales for a single big game)

GT5 is unlikely to fall short of 7 million lifetime though, and could manage about 10 million if it is really good (or bundled a lot)

NSMB Wii though, well, it's a tougher one to put a "minimum" on, but I would be suprised if it fell short of 6 million lifetime, however it's the upper potential that makes it more likely to beat GT5, as it could exceed 20 million if all goes well.
