Yup a PPV with huge build up and a card to actually promote against a PPV that fans were put off buying because of WWE involvement, didn't even tell us a card unless you went on the net to find out and a couple weeks of promotion. It's shocking it was outsold.
*goes to check the DVD sales*

To be honest, the ECW market WWE had available to them is far, far smaller than the WWE one. The fact that One Night Stand sold so well is a huge achievement, really, and the proportion of WWE viewers (past and present) that bought Vengeance is much smaller than the proportion of ECW fans (or thise just mildly intrigued) who bought ONS.
And as Kawada rightly points out, the differences in promotion for the two of them were utterly unreal.
In hard numbers, Vengeance beat ONS, but I'd say ONS was a greater success overall.
Even so, I don't think I'd touch the franchise again, personally. ONS was a perfect send-off (even with the WWE interruptions - to be honest, it did highlight the anti-WWE/WCW sentiments of the fed very well), I don't see any need to keep flogging a now truly dead horse.

Indeed, think of the production values for Vengeance for ONS, putting on Vengeance would be far more expensive than ONS plus all the money spent on advertising. I'd say ONS probably made more money even with the smaller buyrate, and definitely so with the DVD sales when the fans realised Vince actually kept somewhat of a distance away from it and just let Heyman do his thing because i know i was put off about the WWE involvement

I'd agree with that, unless Heyman actually brings it back proper ONS was the perfect standoff, if only for two spots in the PPV - Heyman's shoot and the fan spitting beer at Bischoff, nothing sums up the rebellious F-you attitude of ECW better
