How much money did they spend if after half million sales between two versions is still a flop? |
3DS version probably $3-5m
WiiU version $10m+ (probably closer to $15m which is still rather cheap for an HD game).
also no marketing included (though that could be easily split with the TV series).
Considering both games are $30 each already (and have been for a few weeks), they (whoever paid for it, probably both SEGA and Nintendo) didn't come close to profitablity.
EDIT:
just found this:

wouldn't surprise me.
