not when your install base is under 10 million-  No it is not very good for a big 1st party title

If you remove the context of the install base, you can make the case that every game either sold bad or great depending on the agenda you push.  

Console A has a 500 million install base.
Console B has a 10 million install base.

Game on console A sells 1 million units.
Game on console B sells 1 million units.

Which game sold better?

Well they both sold the same however game A may dissapoint the publisher due to not appealing to vast majority off console owners whereas console b game publishers would not expect the game to sell amazing due to limited install base therefore expectations would be lower, cost off devolopment lower etc so therefore game B sells 'better'

 

If that makes sense
