Why on earth not? NSMB is facing at least as much competition as SMG will be in the long run.
Now, the short term is a different story. SMG is launching at a time that consumers' pocketbooks will still be recovering from MP3, and bracing for SSBB -- not to mention RE:UC and NiGHTS, the latter of which launches the next day -- so it won't get out the door as fast as Halo 3 will. Combined with a later street date, it's 2007 sales will be easily (but not hugely) outmatched by Halo 3.
But over the long term I think that it will have probably about the same attach rate as NSMB has to the DS, or better -- which I expect to be at least as good as the attach rate Halo 3 achieves. Since the Wii is inevitably going to overtake the 360 in overall sales, and widely expected to keep that lead, ... well.

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.
