1) No video game that sells a million is irrelevant unless it had exorbitant costs.

2) The person I was responding to was asking a question, and I deliberately used the phrase "on the same order of magnitude" precisely because I knew if I claimed it was selling "nearly as much" or even "on a similar level" would get someone arguing about it.

I didn't say a million was irrelevant, I said that the distinction between 1,000,000 and 999,999 is irrelevant.  Every Nintendo home console has sold at the same order of magnitude, but is that relevant information?

The second point pretty much ties into my answer of the first.  Just because your argument is technically correct doesn't mean it supports the point you're trying to make.

You're still misunderstanding what order of magnitude means, something is on the same order of magnitude as something else if it is within 1/10 and 10* that number. 

My second point is me trying to explain that the point I was trying to make was not what you interpreted it to be. I was deliberately *not* saying the Wii version was selling as much as the HD versions and used a wider phrase because I didn't think anybody would feel the need to argue with. It is like saying that two teams are "in the same league", it's not saying that they are as good as the other but that they are within a certain range of them, because people understand that a team can be in the same league as another without being nearly as good.
