Rune Factory sold 80k. OK sounds like break-even. Just got over the hump of profitability.

Sales were OK, not are OK, so it must've met the expectations already. That brings up the question, "What were they expecting"? Sounds like 75k was the goal.

Based off pure revenue, thats like $3.6m........................what is going on?

I'm sorry, but I'm not sure if DS games break even at 80k, let alone a exclusive Wii title.

Most DS games actually would (Ubisoft's DS games cost as little as $800k to make, although obviously some cost more). I'd imagine a Phoenix Games Wii title could be profitable at 80k...but they're probably the only ones who could get away with that. Make no mistake, Rune Factory's almost certainly not a bank-breaker for most companies, but it'll take much more than 80k for it to break even.
