Well, the first three answers are easy: GOW will get higher reviews and hype (just because usually ps3 games have more hype than Wii games), and also more preorders (ps3 games listed in top 40 american preorders are something like 10-20 times more than Wii games...).
But for sales first week/LTD is an hard question: if Wii reaches 100 millions before Pikmin 3 (=no before holiday 2010) then it has a great shot to outsell both the previous Pikmin combined (about 3 million LTD) if Ninty is able to do the same thing they did with mario Kart: casualizing it without screwing it. But GoW has a bigger fanbase, and is a more known franchise, so it will probaby be the best entry in the franchise...and as long as PS3 games usually don't have legs, i would say that a lot of it's sales will come from the first week, so Pikmin has a shot just to the LTD question IMO.

PS3 games not a having any legs is a crock of BS. (see little big planet, uncharted 1, Resistance (both), VC, Assasins Creed, GTA 4, GT prologue, and etc )

I honestly do not see the wii selling 50 million units in one year  as you proposed, so this further negates the fact that pikman (a very unknown IP) can beat  God of war 3 game (a fantastically well recieved and  high selling IP).

Ps3 games GENERALLY have low legs, it's obvius that there are exceptions, like the ones of Wii having legs: generally Ps3's legs<Wii's legs.

I said 100 millins not before holiday 2010, if Wii reached over 60 millions this holiday there are 40 millions, and 25 can be sold...it was a statemente to say just "not before 2011", it changes little if there are 90 or 100 millions Wii's.

Pikmin is not unknow, was unknow because of GC but it's one of the IPs that can be casualized the most (for example SMBB or Metroid couldn't) with a good marketing and developement.
