Around the Network

I am only looking at august releases for now.
Wii
1) Metroid Prime 3
With 3.5 million x360's under the belt in November 2006 Gears Of War Debuted @ 500K during the week and shifted a further 130K consoles the same week.
Currently the Wii has shifted 3.& million and would have reached 4 million+ by the time MP3 is out. MP3 might not overhaul Gears during its dubut week but it will come close to 400K. Considering the Wii s/w drought and MP3's revolutionary control system, there is a slim chance it can hit 500,000 on its first week. 150K/500K
2) Boogie - EA's first Wii exclusive and mainstream game. Looks like a cross of DDR and Karaoke. Should appeal to children and the family audience. Expect High School Musical to eat up some of its sales. This looks like a game that will debut slow and can how strong legs in the face of word of mouth and good reviews. 15K/75K
3) Mercury Meltdown - 10K/50K
4) Carnival Games 15k/60K

PS3

1) Lair - One of the killer apps being released on the PS3. Xbox killer apps have debuted @ 200K-400K in the face of little opposition. Rated "T" Lair has good prospects. But the PS3's low usebase is going to hemorrhage its sales. 50K/200K
2) Heavenly Sword i suspect is going to get a M rating. Again Unless the PS3 has some spectacular sales numbers, it is going to be a mediocre time for sony releases. 75K/250K
3) Warhawk - considering its a PSN game too. 15K-150K.

X360
1) Two Worlds, oblivion clone, limited xbox live co-op support, 1 week lead over bio shock. 15K/200K
2) Moto GP 07 - one of the original best seller on the xbox. Moto GP 06 failed to make a splash, with a wider audience, it may improve its tally this time round. 10K/50K
3) Bio Shock - huge RPG/FPS release since oblivion. 100K/300K
