I think in the long term, Galaxy will do over 5 million in America, beating Brawl. But Brawl could easily have a bigger first week, due to the demographic, and has a better shot at a 1 million first week.
Halo is the only shoo-in, IMO. GTA will sell more between the 2 formats in the long run, but Halo is a far more front heavy franchise, and GTA is selling into an absolutely tiny install base compared to what SA had.
Between multiple formats, Madden, Guitar Hero III and GTAIV could all hit 1 million first week.

"The way to solve this problem lies in how to communicate what kind of games [they CAN play]."
