It's not a surprise it sold decently, considering all the aspects mentioned above.

OMG, not this again... LOL at the game requiring no thought and only button presing skills... At least get the facts right, if you've not played the game...
And come on, no one expected Heavy Rain to sell this good. It's definitely a surprise. Monstrous marketing certainly helps a bit into making the game a million seller, but quality of the game itself is definitely the main driving force here...
