The game already made $4mil+ profit (going by $16 per copy), it'll sell no less than 400k WW. 

You keep saying slow start yet it just showed it went Up month over month. Why would they discontinue it? You keep ignoring the fact it has legs and the example of Kirby TD, that did 42k First month yet is over 350k SOLD by end of 2014.

I meant DISCOUNT  not discontinue- sorry-   I am not ignoring that it may hit 200k or even 500k   I am saying even w those sales they will be lucky to covering makreting and other non dev cost much less make money 

I know Kirby is not thier tp brand but it IS one of thierr major brands-  they will end up spending several million on TV marketing alone-   

 

How much do you think it cost them to  game this game  - just starght dev cost including music or anything else in the game 

 

Oh Discount lol. Actually i dont think discount will happen for a long long time, seeing all the 3ds/wiiu first party games, barely none have actually dropped from their initial MSRP. but if they do it wont be intill at least after 2015 is over.

As for "Cost" im going by other games that done similar (ex Captain Toad which Nintendo was extremely happy with, with i think 400k+ sold WW) and games i know were profitable that only sold 100k-500k WW.

Also the fact that its a $40 game helps out the argument it wasnt a huge pricey game to make.
