This isn't the right attitude. You do have to care about the financials, you do have to care about the customer and the game's sales. Otherwise you are betraying your investors. Making a game isn't a fun hobby you do for yourself, unless you're self funded, you do it to satisfy customers and make your investors some profit.

The way I read it is: If you make a game out of passion, then you won't have to worry about the sales, because it's quality and value will carry it in the marketplace.  This makes at least some sense.  I think it fits your criteria about turning profit.
