It'll be interesting to see where The Darkness (360 version) places on that list.

My thoughts are Halo 3. I don't know about any game that has done that.

There have been plenty of games to hit 1m or near 1m their first week.

Halo 2, GTA:SA, and a few others have hit 1m for their first week.

For this year, we'll probably have more than ever that hit 1m in 1 week.

Possible 1m for their first week games:
Super Mario Galaxy
Super Smash Brothers Brawl
Halo 3
Grand Theft Auto for X360
Madden 08 for X360 (maybe)

All of those games, expecially the first 4, have a great chance of hitting 1m their first week. I'd anticipate the list would go something like:

Halo 3
Super Mario Galaxy
Grand Theft Auto IV
Super Smash Brothers Brawl

But it could depend. GTAIV and SSBB should both be pretty close.

Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

I would think Mario Galaxy would have more of a chance than Halo, becuase it would appeal in all three regions vs Halo having it's biggest appeal in the US while little to no appeal in Japan.

Well, since this chart is NA only, I was just reffering to the US-only region.

I think SSBB has a higher chance than SMG. Also, did anyone notice that when you misspell a word, it is underlined in red? Little tweaks here and there. GJ ioi.
