Four million sold doesn't even touch the 16-bit Mario games. Super Mario Bros. 3 alone sold something like 6.5 million copies. Four million sold is a great success, to be sure, but it's not close to Grand Theft Auto 3, Vice City, Mario 64, or Zelda: Ocarina of Time. This is of course if you don't count Madden...
Halo 2 will probably break the 5 million mark, I'd wager. Halo 1 was a bit of a gamble considering its long development cycle, and with it's success, the success of Xbox Live and the increasing amount of Xboxes sold, Halo 2 should prove to be a great hit in the holiday season.
