Yes, the bottom 5 games of Wii, Game Party (that according to Metacritics) just got its ticket to Million Seller List.

228	Game Party	2007	25
229	Cruis'n	2007	25
230	Ninjabread Man	2007	20
231	Anubis II	2007	19
232	Balls of Fury	2007	19

Maybe the name of the game did help it for this success, who knows?

"Actually, because the number of units sold was not as high as we hoped, the loss was better than our original expectation," Quotes from Sony’s CFO Nobuyuki Oneda.

@Dolemit3 No, it doesn't have "party" or "game(s)" in its title

It's heavily discounted which helps but even on Amazon UK where people usually rate things highly it's only got 2.5 stars. It must've sold on name alone.

This the difference in actually advertising your game correctly (both in America and Europe) and not advertising it correctly (BoomBlox) or at all (Okami).

And let's not forget the easy to digest price.
