Lest we forget the turnover made here- 6,000 unit limit at £7 each is £42,000.
So, the total income is less than £42k for the game. Much less. Let's say £25k.
Whose fault is it if you make a 'great title' and you're only making £25k, before salaries, Nintendo's cut, taxes, dev kits, advertisement (or lack thereof) etc.?
The company was never going to see a penny from the game with that attitude. If you can't make £40k turnover on your product, your business as a whole is doing something SERIOUSLY wrong, no?
