I'll consider a big seller, a game that can sell 20mil+ without bundling.
GTA is still a big seller this gen so I think CoD will continue selling tens of millions next gen. As for the next big seller. Its hard to predict what the big seller will be because it will be a game that takes advantage of the new features the consoles will offer.
GTA became really big last generation because consoles finally became powerful enough to support a 3d sandbox "real life" game. It was basically the sims for people who enjoy action movies.
Call of Duty became huge this gen because online multiplayer on consoles became viable for nearly everyone. You could argue online multiplayer was viable on the original xbox, and it clearly was considering how well halo sold, but the xbox install base was far too small to generate a 20mil+ seller, and playstation 2's online wasn't well done, with no centralized system.
The new big game next gen will be something that cannot be done well in current gen consoles, or it would have been a big game this generation. What that is, I don't really know.
