Next week is black friday week so I think there will be a few games that will outsell it in the US.

360/ps3 versions of ghosts.
Wii version of just dance 2014
And maybe the 360 versions of Battlefield 4, GTA 5, and Assassin's Creed.


Last of Us, Halo 4, and ps3 version of batman might also end up ahead due to bundles.

As for best selling exclusive this holiday. It should do it quite handily. It's up against launch titles and GT6. GT6 is the only real threat. GT5 managed 1.2mil its first holidays in the US, though I expect this one to be significantly lower.

Except software released in November prior to Black Friday rarely if ever gets a boost on the week of Black Friday. They do start to grow their sales about a week or two into December, though.

Anything that was released more than two weeks ago will get a huge boost. Looking at last year and the year before.

Assassin's Creed III went from 120k on ps3 and 100k on 360 to 300k on ps3 and 265k on 360.
Year before
Battlefield 3 went from 45k on 360 to 109k on 360.
Akrham City went from 34k on 360 and less on ps3, to 107k on 360 and 97k on ps3.

Considering this year black friday sales were absolutely crazy for some of these games I wouldn't be surprised if the games I mentioned sell three times as many copies as they did this week.
That would put Grand Theft Auto 5 at 310k, battlefield 4 at 150k, and Assassin's Creed IV at 120k. I think Super Mario will sell between 100-200k next week in the US, so those games certainly have a shot at outselling it.
Just Dance always does massive numbers on black friday and I expect it to be the number one game next week by a sizable margin. 

EDIT messed up numbers
