Interesting.  I don't believe it did that may worldwide.  I may be wrong on it not doing as well as ModNation though.  But here is one article, that said it didn't even break 1 million in the United States as of 2008:

HOWEVER, the same article did say 15 million worldwide. This popped up in Wikipedia.

Yeah! That was the article I read on it. I kinda overstated how muc they sold =P

An interesting thing about boardgames is that, for the most part, they only do print runs of a few thousand for most, and that is that.  As far as designers go, the top designers MAKE A LIVING do it.  In videogames, they get to be wealthy.  The scale is different.
