I'm having a hard time thinking of a game that's sold a million, and hasn't gotten a sequel. I figure, if you spend a year or two making something that you love, and it strikes a chord with the gaming public, why wouldn't you want to make a sequel?

Brute Force? Yeah, I think you're right. It had a huge ad campaign, and shipped to Halo starved XBOX owners. I bought it last year, for my 360. That game REALLY SUCKED. That's an instance where I would take the money and run. I don't think anyone wants a sequel to that one!

World of WarCraft has sold over 12 million copies and there has been no sequel yet. Four years since WoW was released.
^no but it got an expansion and blizzards been busy with a game (have they announced what it is yet?)

I guess it's not fair to judge a 2002 XBOX 1 game against my 2007 XBOX 360 games, huh? It did look good in those commercials, though. But those were just cut scenes.
In todays gen, games making 50-60 million bucks isnt much but i depends on the developer if the sequel will sell more than the predessesor but IMO selling 1 mill still increases chance of a sequal since its still alot of copies that have been sold.

Actually, it depends on the production costs of the game
