It's not that impressive when you really think about it Dawn of War has what 7 releases in the franchise, Dawn of War plus 3 stand alone expansions and Dawn of War 2 plus two stand alone expansions. The games have all had several budget price rereleses (and GOTY edition type releases) and lots of 90% off Steam sales as well. 7 Million really isn't that many when you think about it.Same for Company of heroes with it's two expansions, tho the sales per game were higher than DoW they still lost money on the first game initially.
They are a successful developer for sure, but that is mainly because they release 1-2 games a year and have since 2002. Their business model has been to release a big game that loses money and then cash in on expansion packs.
