Unfortunately you cannot compare the sales of PS2 games with GC ones. The PS2 userbase is ten times (not a real stat) that of the Gamecube's, so a million-seller on the GC is much more of a big deal than a million seller on the PS2. If you take into consideration Nintendo's half-assed marketing, the Gamecube's impopularity, and the Gamecube's small userbase, just under a million is still incredibly good.
Nintendo is going to end up in third place this generation, no doubt about it. They still refuse to change their ways while Sony and Microsoft keep on beating them. Will Zelda pass the million mark eventually? I'm positive of it. But will it sell a million copes within thirty days of its release? Ah... I'd give it an 75% chance. But I'm sure it will be the highest-selling GC title yet.
