Well I'm just curious how much you think making that game for Wii U cost. I guarantee the development budget alone, based on my experience developing console video games, was at least 2-3 million dollars. (For example, I was once part of a team of 20-25 who ported a PS3 game to the Vita, we had 12 months to do the port, and our contract to the publisher was 2.4 million dolllars). That's not counting marketing, certification with Nintendo, printing and shipping the games etc. These things cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, if not millions depending on how much these publishers are willing to be spend. But let's be consertative. Let's say that Assassin's Creed 3 and Black Ops 2 total expense for their publishers was only $3 million. |
Horrible math.

Yep. They also get full profit on digital sales.
