ok here is what we know
according to activision
both smac and ctp sold around 500k copies
we also know that smac spent 4 weeks in the NPD top ten chart
when civ3 first came out it was the #1 and #2 selling game for the first week and then it spent over twice as long in the top ten as what SMAC did
as far as what civ2 did, the only information i know is that before civ3 the Civ franchise had sold 4 million games
now which games were included in that number is a mystery
low end civ1, civ2
high end civ1, civnet, civ2, all civ2 expansion packs, civ2:mge, civ:tot, civ:ctp, smac, and all of the console versions of civ
you can buy the information from NPD but it costs like 5,000 dollars i've heard for a report

If they'd sold a lot of copies, they'd br telling everyone about it. They're not saying anything. Therefore...

Like a parasite, Civ 3 has fed on the great reputation of Civ 2 along with Sid's now sullied name. That helped its sales, along with rushing the beta product for the Holiday buying season.
You can also be assured that a year after its release Civ 3 will be disappointing compared to the legs of Civ 2.
