What?!

Mario, WiiU Fit and Nintendo Land will probably sell not only that but twice that amount or more, but the third party titles don't have a chance.

You do know that Just Dance 2 and 3 (on Wii) have both broken 9 million, right? And that Just Dance 3 is likely to make it to 10 million, making it only the 15th game not made by Nintendo to reach that milestone on a single platform? (other non-Nintendo games to make that milestone include three Grand Theft Autos, three Gran Turismos, five Call of Duties, Kinect Adventures, Halo 3, and The Sims for PC)

Assassin's Creed, on the other hand, has only ever sold 5 million copies on one platform once, and that was the original AC on Xbox 360. While it is certainly possible for ACIII to sell more than 5 million on Wii U, I wouldn't count on it, if only because it'll have to share with 360 and PS3 - I can see it managing maybe 4 million, if lucky.

Having said that, I could see Lego City Undercover making 5 million, as it seems to bring together Lego and GTA, to a degree. Dragon Quest X also has a reasonable chance, especially if released in the west (I'm thinking 4.5 million in Japan, another million in the west). And ZombiU, based on what we've seen, has real potential.

The problem with Just Dance is that it will also appear on the Wii, which will be the version that sells the most, by miles. Have you seen its sales on the 360 and PS3? It has 1.75 mil on the Xbox360 and 0.34 on the PS3. I'm sorry but, even though the WiiU version may sell better than the Xbox360 one, I won't reach the 5 mil claimed by Salnax.

I agree with you about Assassins Creed.

Dragon Quest X is a wild card because it will launch first on the Wii and also because it's more like an MMO than a traditional JRPG.

I admid that the Lego game has potential, and the other Lego games have sold well. We'll see.
