Actually it is 9.56mln sold.  So 9.56mln>5.27mln(Gears of War). I think that is more than enough. Almost selling double.

Initial sales don't matter at all.  It is the legs that matter.

Animal Crossing will easily sell over 5 million, so definitely the big holiday title.
I think Fatal Frame will release as well.

Call of Duty will also be pretty big this holiday, I don't think it can compete with the HD versions, but should definitely make a million.
Guitar Hero World Tour will sell most on Wii and go in the millions.

Another issue is there are still tons of games that new Wii owners haven't bought yet.

WiiPlay, WiiFit, SMG, MP3, Zelda, Smash, etc...

All of these will continue to sell through the holidays, why would they want to add more competition?

Because not all Wii owners/users dont want those games wether the new one or the old ones. Thats why consoles needs more new games to satisfy the gamers.

Even how good the game is there is one point in time a gamer will feel tired of the same game everyday...

Wii Sports	85	303,505
Wii Fit	32	296,452
Super Smash Bros Brawl	23	216,691
Wii Play	84	149,431
Super Mario Galaxy	36	36,896
Mario Party 8	58	27,635
Link's Crossbow Training	33	23,472
Big Brain Academy: Wii Degree	63	17,671
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess	85	15,959
Metroid Prime 3: Corruption	45	7,953
Mario Strikers Charged	58	6,858
Super Paper Mario	65	6,412
Endless Ocean	49	6,029

Wii owners don't want these games?  They are buying thousands of copies a week of games that have been out for 23+ weeks.  I am talking from Nintendo's pov.

It could have been Animal Crossing, it sound like it.

Lets wait till next year, 2009, lets see if SSBB and Wii Fit will hold out for long.

What? Because Nintendo games stop selling after eighty weeks?

I mean these are weekly numbers and they are ridiculouslyricokulously high.  These games sell in a month what many other publishers wished they sold in LTD.

Nintendogs	168	71,899
New Super Mario Bros	112	71,403
Brain Training	164	69,828
Mario Kart DS	138	66,521

You beat me there... I knew you will post about DS games. But still lets wait if SSBB will sell, about Wii Fit lets see if Wii Fit will sell alone with only the peripheral with just Wii Fit alone, without other games supporting it.
