Your first point is probably correct -- where a million SMG sales in Japan is a foregone conclusion, two million or more may be a stretch. It depends on too many variables to assume SMG will sell 'millions' in Japan instead of "somewhere between 1 million and 2 million."
However, I'm not so sure SMG will not outsell Halo 3 in the US. Certainly, the US is the market where Halo 3 sells strongly, and it's one of the strongest francheses ever in the US (comperable with the GTA 3 series), however, I can't see an end to the Wii demand level and I notice that a people discover/pick up SMG more and more as time goes on. I think SMG has a reasonable chance of outperforming Halo 3 US sales vs US sales.
