Boom Blox has been sold to at least 610.000 people (until now) according to VG Chartz data.
My definition of a "best game you've never played" (i.e. great game with weak sales) is clearly different from other people's definition of the same term. A great game that has sold - say - 10.000 to 50.000 copies worldwide overall would be a more realistic choice to me.
