@leo j - Super Mario Galaxy crawled past a million in Japan a while ago.
@Rol
It may be in competition over the developers, but I don't think that when someone buys a gaming device, he thinks about handhelds and consoles as having the same purpose.
And since this thread is about console sells, this is the type of competition that's relevent.
Bet with Dr.A.Peter.Nintendo that Super Mario Galaxy 2 won't sell 15 million copies up to six months after it's release, the winner will get Avatar control for a week and signature control for a month.
^ He mentioned PSP and DS in the OP. So this thread is about consoles AND handhelds.
Japanese are not cheap when it comes to Final fantasy, I bet the current owners of PS3 there would buy another so its a win for PS3.
The way i see it: SONY>MS>Nin

This is going to be one hell of a holiday season. But next year, that's even going to be tighter.
Who's the best Pac, Nas, and Big. Just leave it to that.
PLAYSTATION®3 is the future.....NOW.......B_E_L_I_E_V_E
Slaughterhouse Is The Sh*t .... NOW ........ B_E_L_I_E_V_E

lol! I hope you're still not talkin' Japan when you wrote that.
Modern Warfare 2 has little chance of becoming the best selling title.
World at War sold 6.5M in the first year. Release date was 10th November 08.
Modern Warfare 1 opened with 5.7M. Release date was November 5th 07.
Modern Warfare 2 releases November 10th.
Now, how much will Modern Warfare 2 need to sell to take the first place? (Save Wii Sports, of course). Personally, I'd say 10M is lowballing Wii Fit a bit.
How about second? I doubt that too. Wii Sports Resort is currently entering the holiday season at the same pace as Wii Fit and MKWii did last year. They ended up selling 5.3M and 5.5M from here on and in. I don't think WSR will manage 10M for the year, (that would be 5.3M more), but it should come rather close.
3rd? I think Mario Kart Wii will steal that. Its sales seem linked to the Wii, so if the pricecut boosts the Wii, it could make 8M for the year (that's 3.5M in the holiday season). 7-8M is likely.
It should make 4th (assuming you also exclude Wii Play) , though. DQDS is looking at ~ 4.5M for the year, as is NSMB (DS). Resident Evil 5 might outedge it, though, with ~ 5M.
Other possible competitors are NSMB Wii (I consider that unlikely). Mario & Sonic @ the Winter Olympics (should sell ~ 5M, if it does as well as the Summer Olympics) and Wii Fit + (that's ridiculously unlikely)

If, however, we make things a little more specific, Modern Warfare 2 would take the top spot. It would be the best selling 2009-releasing game of 2009, and also the best selling HD game of 2009.

The best selling 2009 released game would still be Wii Sports Resort.
The best selling X360 game is likely to be ODST
The best selling Ps3 game is likely to be RE5 Ps3 (although that could be MW too).
But yes, the best selling combined Ps3 + X360 game is likely to be MW2, unless it sells < 5M, which is unlikely.
