I'd say Alan Wake, Mass Effect 2, Splinter Cell: Conviction, and..........Halo: Reach? (not sure when Reach or Natal's coming out). Not sure if many people are into Fable so I'd see Crackdown 2 having a better chance of being some form of system seller than Fable III.

Alan Wake is no more a system seller than Heavy Rain is. Just because a game looks good does not mean that it will sell systems. GT5, Halo 3, FF XII, GTAIV, etc. are system sellers. Alan Wake is not.

That's where you're wrong, though.  Microsoft has been saying lately how their upcoming games like Alan Wake are going to be advertised and promoted like a Hollywood Movie production.  If they can make the game look amazing and awesome in advertisements, and get those everywhere, that will definitely push systems.

Also, the way I see it, Mass Effect 2 will have about the same system seller affect as Uncharted 2.  Their first counterparts sold pretty close to the same amount, and if there is a bundle, I think many people will pick up a 360 to get both Mass Effect games just like many new PS3 owners got the Uncharted 2 bundle and Uncharted 1.

Also, I agree with everyone that says God of War 3 will not be a system seller.  I mean, the game is a very niche hit.  Even with all it's acclaim, God of War 2 only sold ~2.5 million when the PS2 userbase was like 100 million+

How many games which launch after their console's successor break 2.5 million?
