marvelous held a party over no more heroes shipment numbers 400k, a while ago at that, which makes me wonder if it is under tracked,
zack and wiki is in an only recently revived genre, seriously over a third of a million and still selling a few thousand copies a week is quite good, and I don't think it ever had a single tv spot in the US
NiGHTS, probably but we don't know how it did in Europe
arbitrarily assigning 500k as a the bar for a game isn't a good way to determine success or failure, by that logic Atlus, snkp or NIS and a bunch of other smaller/niche publishers have a 100% failure rate
different games have different expectations,
if GTA4, or GT 5 or Super Mario Galaxy sold 500k worldwide it'd be a flop,
if Rondo of swords sold that much it be a smashing success,
