None of those are strong sales. Especially since Kameo and Perfect Dark were exclusive launch titles, usually that gives higher than average sales.  

Those arent high?  Well i guess pretty much most game studios should be gonig out of business then including Insomniac, Sucker Punch, and multiple other praised devs.  Had no clue 1 and 2m wasnt noteworthy.....

Considering Microsoft spent over 300m on Rare I don't think they wanted their games to sell 1-2m at best. Insomniac and Sucker Punch probably would have gone out of business a while ago had they not been making exclusive titles. Activision and EA shut down studios left and right for making those kinds of sales. If Rare was profitable at those levels, then I doubt MS would have restructured them and put them on Kinect. 

By the way what is your source for those sales numbers? I tried to look for it but I couldn't find it.
