Not necessarily...all dependent on their budget and outlook for the game. Even with the Alien name, it's a hardcore horror game...not exactly a mainstream genre.This day and age 1 million is considered low.

SEGA pulled the plug on Bayo 2, even though it sold well over a million, had lower production values, was developed for only two last gen consoles and didn't have licensing fees, let alone a Hollywood cast.Well, they started in May 2011, had a peak team size of 100, and had their margin diluted by the licensing fee.
I wouldn't be surprising if they lost money overall, especially given the likely average selling point, but they might consider this good enough for trying a second time.
