Is not the "Million Seller" lists based at least in part upon information provided by the companies themselves rather than just the sales data?

Also, it is very possible for a game to sell 250K in each region without ever reaching 1M -- since there are probably no more than three regions.

Finally, it is interesting that the list here is more inclusive than what is found on Wikipedia -- which only has 26 games at 1M for the GC.

What I want to know is if Pikmin 2 came close to 1M in sales, why is it so expensive to get a second-hand copy today.

I want to point out that Gold =/= Platinum. Gold means 500k. Platinum 1000k (or 1 million).

Also, the list is from Wikipedia, so your bold claim is ludicrous. I checked the Player's Choice list from Wikipedia. Also, I never said this was all about 'ONLY 1 million +' but rather something to show a lot of games were more succesful then this sites' sales might suggest. This is based on the Player's Choice status which means 250k in 1 region.
