Am I correct in saying that people don't buy enough eShop games in general?

Seems that way. I wonder if there's a really big dropoff somewhere, like if most of the other games are also under 100k, but the top game is over 500k or something. These games must be considerably less expensive to make if under 100k can still be successful enough to merit a sequel.

I read somewhere that Mutant Mudds made back its development cost, and based on what I'm seeing here, that game probably sold in the 30-40K range in North America.
