(platinum lost alot of money or Nintendo did paid alot of money)
one way or the other 1 of them lost alot of $$$$ (who nintendo or platinum) humm

Platinum didn't pay anything. They received payments to develop the game as they don't even own the IP.
Nintendo is the one paying for development. SEGA likely didn't pay anything either and just allowed them to use the IP, but if they did they're going to get a share, which lowers the amount of revenue Nintendo can keep for themselves. Either way it wasn't a good investment as the HW sales barely rose and the game surely isn't profitable.

if the game sales 1m(end of the year), they will not ave burned to much money and they will have made alot of core gamers very happy.
some times making alot of money isnt the reason to make a game.
|
Considering the game is still at full price, I'm pretty sure they will be in profit territory with 1 million+ sales.

they cut prices for promo alot. and it will burn money anyway because they would have made another game with the money. and nintendos 1st party games normaly print money
