Be sure that those games are in my heart too. But these numbers doesn't correspond to trully highly succesful games. That's why ID has been sold for only $100M. For a comparaison, Riot Games has been sold for $400M with only one game (League of Legend) [1].

Also, Minecraft[2] sold 7+ millions of java copies. It's more than x2 copies than Doom3 on "one platform".
