When I hear big numbers like that I have no idea how that really ranks. It's just too big to understand for me haha. Like if someone casually said "yeah Pokemon sold 300 million games total" I wouldn't know if that was really amazingly good or just average. XD

But if they're celebrating it must be good, so yay. XD
