Castlevania isn't doing that bad I think. Look at the whole franchise. It never had that much sales. Or am I totally wrong? If it reaches one million, it is one of the better Castlevanias (sales wise).

The only CV to ever sell a million was COTM on GBA.  Even SOTN on PS1, and none of the 8/16bit games managed a million sales over their lifetimes.

That said, the budget for LOS could very well be more than the budget for all the 2D CV games ever, combined.  1.25m for a HD multiplatform game that was in development for 3-4 years, that had a big promotional campaign, that had a PS3 hardware bundle, that had extensive celebrity voice work, that had the involvement of Hideo Kojima... that's not exactly what I'd call "good".

Let's not forget that half of those sales could be on half price. Investment-wise, it looks like a bit of a flop.
