 Predict when it'll happen, but it will happen this year!

 

Depending on the costs, $1 million copies sold could not even be enough to break even.  This article has it that a title needs to sell 500,000 for every $15 million in development costs (heck, not even factoring in marketing budget probably):

Depending on the cost of games, 1 million sold can be notable or not.

Whether thats true or not one million copies is still a milestone to whether a title is relevant or not. Yes breaking even is important, but this has been going on for years here and no one has argued it when it was favoring Microsoft.

because you all were like

lol Please...back when I was defending Microsoft I didnt count digital titles. Back in the 2005-2008 period Microsoft had a healthy dose of third party exclusives running the show for them.
