As far as dev cost comparison it is hard to say w out seeing the game - i still think the Kirby art style was difficult and expensive to make - Kirby would have been much longer otherwise-

Doubtful. Fire Emblem games, especially now, have huge campaigns (especially in Japan). Kirby typically only gets a TV commercial and not much else.
It's really not hard to say that Fire Emblem costs more to make than Kirby. The cutscenes, dialogue, localization, voice acting, gameplay mechanics, etc. are much more intricate than what you would see in a Kirby game. Therefore, it's much more expensive to make. Also, Fire Emblem games are traditionally longer than Kirby games (which makes sense considering they're RPGs).

You don t really have any basis to say which is more or less-
"Kirby only gets a tv commercial"? TV, particulalry a National campaign in the USA or perhaps international is BY FAR the most expensive advertisng they can do -- No marketing tv campaign consist of "a commercial"
If you want to beleive Kirby on Wii U can make money by selling 130k after 2+ months in Japan and 1 month in the US that is your right-
But it would be nice to see some/any tangible evidence that this might be possible- other than "its a budget title"
All the expense you mentioned are not the "big" expenses that make 8th gen games cost 3,4+ times more to develop than Wii games- those expenses have been part of the process for several generations -
right now there is no guarantee that Kirby is going to even sell 500k -
I serioulsy doubt Nintenod would be bringing FE to the Wii u if it was an expensive game to make relatively speaking
and 600k in sales is not a "gimmie" for most games being released on the Wii u othter than the bigger titles
