Spike Chunsoft, Idea Factory, 5pb and Koei Tecmo make a lot of games (~80 SKUs) but does not seem to make much money. Do you know how they are able to survive when their games mostly sell less than 100 000?

EDIT: Koei Tecmo and Spike Chunsoft are of course doing a lot of work for other publishers.

Because they how to budget and market their games to their respective fanbases? A lot of the niche JRPGs only need around 35k to break even.

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."
