" Several games were successfully launched during the quarter: Aliens: Fireteam Elite, which is distributed by Focus Home Interactive in Europe and several territories in Asia, and Insurgency: Sandstorm on PlayStation4 and XboxOne, which already sold close to half a million units; both games are performing well."

I read the "half a million" units as applicable to Insurgency - but it's nice to hear the publisher thinks it has performed well.
Yeah, I read this way too.
Several games were successfully launched during the quarter: Aliens: Fireteam Elite, which is distributed by Focus Home Interactive in Europe and several territories in Asia,
and Insurgency: Sandstorm on PlayStation4 and XboxOne, which already sold close to half a million units;
both games are performing well.But it's great for the future of Alien video games to hear they consider it performing well so far. Nice find Seattle! Since Focus is a public traded company, we can expect a public statement every quarter, so hopefully we'll get more A:FTE info in their next statement.
I do think a half a million units is a good benchmark for a non AAA game. I felt that way with Illfonic's P:HG too. Of course, it also comes down to how much these companies actually spend cumulatively against how much they sold, but since we usually never see those numbers, I personally run with the 500k success line.
