At what sales point do you see a game a success?

If it's profitable

Merely being profitable is never a good indicator of whether a game was successful or not.

you're getting the term "successful" confused with "worth playing"

It doesn't have to be a game that is worth playing to be a successful game, it just has to meet the original purpose of making the game, which is to cover all the costs of making it, and hopefully provide enough extra to fund making another game after that.
