My estimation is that the break even point for Killzone 2 is around 2 million copies, so I think 2.5 million would be a commercial success (25% ROI). That's the only important measure.

Seeing the hype and quality of the game I would be dissapointed with sales under 3.5 million.

 

3 Years Development time and only 25 percent ROI

Would have been better off in a bank (Not Lehman Bros)

Ehm a bank will at max net you 5% a year, so in 3 years 5.15%
Investing in shares/bonds will likely net you around 10% a year (not this year though...) so in 3 years will be 13%

25% ROI is over the complete development cycle so is discounted over 3 years.
