I hope they don't expect a profit.

People are saying this, but games don't have to sell a kajillion copies to make money.  Being a first party title, in the US Nintendo is probably getting around $40 each copy sold, packing and shipping would be less than $5 a copy, so they're making atleast $40 per game sold.  $1,050,000.  Nintendo probably paid about half a million for this title to be developed, so if 15,000 copies sell they're breaking even.  If all 30,000 sell, they doubled their investment. 

Half a million doesn't sound possible.
