Both Halo 3 and Assasin's Creed will be minor blips on Crysis's epic ass.

I'm going to side with Coaly here.
Fact is, Halo 3 is the killer app for the XBox360. It always was going to be, just the same way as Halo was the killer app for the XBox. Whilst Gears of War or Crackdown may have been decent (possibly in the realms of phenomenal) games, every XBox owner has been waiting the Halo 3 release with baited breath. So even though Assassins Creed will feature a more original gameplay system and Crysis will feature a holy-shit-you're-doing-WHAT set of graphics and physics engine, Halo3 will outsell both purely on the "people have been waiting for it" line.
Same with the new Smash Brothers / Mario Kart, and new Metal Gear Solid / Final Fantasy titles will outsell everything else on thier respective consoles. Killer Apps sell (duh)...
Me? I'm waiting for GTA4.
it'd be an interesting topic to discuss the actual numbers of video game sales.
We all know how this really works anyway.
Hardcore gamers will preach long and hard about how thier games (notably, the killer apps they've got thier flags aligned to) are outselling everyone, but we all know the Top 10 of the year sales will be the following:
A Nintendo Game, a Sims game, three EA sports license, and the killer app for the year from all the major consoles. Thats the way it is.
And of course, casual game developers are laughing at everyone, outselling everyone in the online poker market (although thier less audible now that the US cracked down on online gambling).
In case anyone cares, I'm still nursing my YPP habit.
