I really can't see MP3 moving more systems than Halo 3. But I guess time will tell.

Same here. I know a few people who just bought a 360 or are just starting to plan to buy one in anticipation of Halo 3. I don't believe Metroid has the console moving power anymore that it did back in the NES/SNES days.

With that said, I'll own them both. :D 

Theres a couple of things why MP3 is seen as a system mover (outside Japan, of course), first it's considered as a big release. Second that game is pretty much considered as the one that shows how good Wii Remote can be in FPS:s (i don't think that they spoil the controls, and therefore it has potential to surprise). Third, Wiis userbase ovbiously at the moment isn't people who like FPS:s. And fourth, since Wii is cheaper than 360, a single game has more impact in system sales on Wii, than what a single game has on 360. Oh, and of course i assume, that Wii don't have supply issues at the time Corruption comes out.
