Damn that's a lot of money. SMG had a 14M budget, didn't it?
How many copies do they need to earn money? After all taxes, and everything else, I guess they won't earn more than 6-8 dollars a game, so they will need at least 8M of sales.
Also, over 1000 people? Brawl was huge and had a little over 150, if I'm not wrong.
