I don't get what the big deal is over 100k. Ratchet has sold over 800k units worldwide, and most people consider it a flop.

Am I missing something here?

 Ratchet has proved it could get in the high numbers, but NMH is a new IP and is a niche game.  Looking at the 'success' of Killer 7 this looks very promising.  I for one don't consider Ratchet a flop anyway, unless it lost money.

 @ RDBRaptor:

While I agree with you main point, I think people toss around the term "niche" a bit loosely. NMH is still very much rooted in the action/adventure genre, just very stylized. Like devil may cry on meth.
