This thread is for the purpose of creating a large a list as possible of games that are million sellers, but have outdated data or are missing data from other regions that prevent them from being one. Many games are less than 100k away from the million mark, and a good percentage of those games have either missing data from a certain region or data from a certain region that is not being tracked as accurately as another and could mean the difference between being above or below the million mark.
Now, I'm going to start off the list with a decent amount of Playstation 2 games that should be at a million or even well over a million. The PS2 has sold a lot of software over the years and has hundreds of million sellers, so Mr. Walton does the best he can and I appreciate his effort. That's why this list can assist him in knowing which games need to be updated.
If there are other games that you believe should be at a million, and you have a good reason for thinking so, feel free to submit it in this thread and I'll add it to my post. This is not a thread for suggesting why games above the million mark may be undertracked or overtracked, but why a certain game is under a million (since that seems to be an important step for many videogames).
Remember, suggest any game on any platform as long as you have good reason to think so. If the games get updated data, I will remove them from the list.
Playstation 2:
Cars:
Current Sales: .98 million
Why it should be over a million:
The game is missing PAL data, and considering how well the game sold in the region on the DS, it would be no surprise to me if this game had sold well over 2 million worldwide.
ATV Off Road Fury 3
Current Sales: .97 million
Why it should be over a million: I know that ATVs aren't particularly popular in Europe, but looking at sales of other ATV games in the region would show that this game sold at least 30k there.
Final Fantasy VII: Dirge of Cerberus:
Current Sales: .96 million
Why it should be over a million: Sales in Japan and America were strong, and it's very likely that it sold at least 40k in PAL (especially considering that it's a shooter)
Scarface: The World is Yours:
Current Sales: .95 million
Why it should be over a million: Missing PAL data, and sandbox games have shown themselves to be very popular in Europe.
Gun:
Current Sales: .94 million
Why it should be over a million: Missing PAL data, where it likely sold pretty well.
Dragonball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi:
Current Sales: .93 million
Why it should be over a million: Missing PAL data. Considering that Budokai Tenkaichi 3 sold over 800k in PAL, this could have easily sold at least 70k there.
Dance Dance Revolution Extreme 2:
Current Sales: .92 million
Why it should be over a million: Like many games, it's missing PAL data. DDR Max 2 on the PS2 sold about half as much in PAL that it did in America, so this must have sold at least 80k in the region.
Dynasty Warriors 5:
Current Sales: .91 million
Why it should be over a million: The game sold over 900k in Japan alone, and has no data in America or PAL. The game easily sold over 90k in the two regions combined.
Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories:
Current Sales: .78 million
Why it should be over a million: Missing PAL data. The PS2 and the GTA series are both immensely popular in Europe, so the missing data could easily put the game over a million.

Spiderman: The Movie 3
Current Sales: .74 million
Why it should be over a million: Easy smeasy. Missing PAL data that would very likely put it over a million.

This section will be updated over time, as there are many missing PS2 million sellers.
Nintendo DS:
Metroid Prime Hunters:
Current Sales: .68 million
Why it should be over a million: Missing PAL data. Considering that Metroid Prime 3 on the Wii sold a large amount in the region and that the DS is very popular there, this is likely at a million.

Current Sales: .98 million
Why it should be over a million: Has no PAL data, and only 20k away from a million.
Starfox: Assault:
Current Sales: .82 million
Why it should be over a million: Missing PAL data, and previous Starfox games have sold well there.
Madden NFL 07:
Current Sales: .99 million

Dance Dance Revolution Hottest Party:

WWE Smackdown! vs. RAW 2007
Current sales: .94 million
Why it should be over a million: Outdated PAL data.
Sonic the Hedgehog
Current sales: .93 million
Why it should be over a million: Very outdated and strangely low PAL data, which could put the game over a million with an update.
Tiger Woods PGA Tour 07
Current sales: .93 million
Why it should be over a million: Outdated PAL data. With a sales update, it could have a chance of passing a million.

Miscellaneous (any other platforms):
Cars:
Current Sales: .83 million
