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. |
Nintendo is making more like $30-$35 for each exclusive. But do you seriously think this game had a budget around $500,000?
