As long as they are happy about it while not losing money, thats all I need to hear

Nintendo is the publisher, so they're the ones who eaten the loss.

Depends on the deal really. In some situations, the game has to sell at least $X before the developers see a penny, while in others the whole thing is bought and paid for in advance, with the publisher collecting the entire amount afterwards. If Platinum is pleased with the sales performance, I suspect it's because we're looking at something closer to the latter than the former.

the devs got their normal salary while developing the game, they get extra payments from sales if a certain threshold of sales/revenue/profit is generated
