MS Olym. is a rare example. How did the other "casual" games go for Sega? Anything without Sonic or Mario in the title has not gone much more over a million.
5-6 mill is NOT a reasonable assessment for most games, other than sequels to previous huge successess
“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.
