How can you blame Microsoft and Sony or even Nintendo for the reception of a third party game that got terrible reception? I am just saying that your standards are low for survival on a Nintendo platform for third parties. There chances are higher elsewhere. 100 M in sales and you're using games that sold 1 and 2 million to vouche for the profitability of being on a Nintendo console? 

I'm not blaming anybody, I'm saying that IF you blame Nntendo, then MS and Sony must share that blame. You'rer right, both 007 Legends and Epic Mickey 2 flopped because they were terrible.

1-2 million sales is enough for developers to be profitable.

1 or 2 million in sales depends on the level of developmental resources and money put into the projects. Everyone knows the Wii was just above sixth generation, just like the Wii U is just about seventh generation tech. It was supposed to be low risk, high reward situation, but things went wrong. Those are very low expectations regardless. If these studios closed down someting went wrong.
