Here is another thing to think about. If Mario and sonic sold 6.69 million coppies at 49.99 each then thet made just shy of 335million dollars off that one game.

25. Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games (Sega) 6.69m (335 Million Dollars)

Crazy...

It doesn't work that way.

Lots of 3rd party games do make money, but really, Nintendo fans will never admit that any games failed.

A game can sell like .05m copies, and they will say, "Well, we don't have updated Europe data, which was probably more then America, and the budget was really low, so they probably made some money." Seriously, you will find stuff like that on every poorly sold Wii game. They can not accept a failure.

 

 

People will admit that games failed, but most people's claims of games failing are pretty moronic ...

Consider that people were calling Zack and Wiki (500,000+ sales) and Boom Blox (700,000+ sales) failures when these games obviously cost less than the $10 to $20 Million in revenue they generated for their publishers.

Where are you pulling these numbers from.

The games failed, admit it. Btw HAZE is on its way to a million, still a failure.

Assuming a game that took more than a year to sell 500k is making 20 million is crazy. Plus, i bet you 80% of the sale happened when the game was dirt cheap. Less revenue, right.
