How are those "low" sales? What were their projections exactly? A skajillion sales?
Million seller means you win at game business. Full stop. Stick a gold star on that sucker and sell it as a "player's choice", pat yourself on the back and get the deluxe car wash, you earned it, earner.
If that is considered "poor sales", sorry Squeenix, we can't help you. Your games are selling as well as you can reasonably expect, so clearly if you are losing money, you're handling project funding poorly. I dunno, maybe your vendors are ripping you off, but you have to get your house in order so that 3 million games sold means you actually profited.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
