Well, if it isn't kwaad. Long time, no see. Nice to see you around, not that i would have missed you, but anyway.
And again a pointless thread without any real argument.
Yes, i agree, SMG was one of the most anticipated games on the Wii, along with MP3, SSBB, Mario Kart and Twilight Princess.
Now, when you compare to Halo 3, which was the only anticipated title on 360, i believe, that you should combine the sales of the 5 Nintendo titles and compare them to Halo 3 sales, to get the similar view. Meaning that if we assume people buying 360:s for Halo 3, people buy Wiis for the titles i mentioned.
Now, you said that Wii has Sports, Play and budget titles, that's true, they eat sales from other games, but notice, that 360 has a lot more budget games. Basically the budget games on Wii are Redsteel and a couple of games, which have originally been released on a budget price, but 360 has a lot of games that have budget price because of being out for so long.
I assume you were talking about NA numbers? Now i have to ask, that how many A(times X) titles on PS3 have sold a million on this time of the year?
