Umm...

You need to understand that not all games are Call of Duty, Halo, Gran Turismo or Mario.

Uncharted 2 sold 830k Worldwide in its first week ! Games don't need to sell like MW2 to be successful.
Lifetime sales of 1 million is enough for a game to be a "hit" imo.

This.

There's way too much emphasis on games having to get a 90 on metacritic and sell multiple millions in order to be called a success.

I agree with MGS4_4ever that 1 million sales is a success for most games, granted a Halo/GT/MW game has to sell multiple millions to be a success. And I think even if a game gets a 75 metascore its a pretty good game! If it gets an 80 its great and if it gets a 90 its amazing. Not all games have to get perfect reviews to be good.
