It would be an absurdly expensive game to require even 2 million sales to break even. 5 million sales on a single platform is incredible, check out the total games hitting 5 million on these consoles:
PS2 - 12 games XBOX - 2 games 360 - 4 games PS3 - 0 games yet (GTA4 should pass 5 million at some point)
Gears 2 should pass 5 million but hitting 5 million is not an easy achievement. Even more interesting is that 2 franchises alone Halo (3) and GTA (4) account for over half of the over 5 million copies sold games from the latest 2 Sony and M$ consoles. Sure there is more analysis worth doing on this (Nintendo Consoles, 1st vs 3rd party) but my lunch break does not allow for it!

Why did you leave Wii out? It has 6 right now with 3 more on the way in just a few weeks. |
See bold :)
The Wii is doing great but I still just cant count Wii Sports as proper sales, its bundled in the biggest regions?! Also Wii Play is purchased as a second controller with a "game" for £5 extra (in the UK at least).
Still even excluding those 2 its sold the same number of 5m + sellers as the 360 in a fraction of the time, very impressive.
