The game budget is definitely alot less than your average game, but the mistake you made here is the profits. It's nowhere near that. Even if first party, I don't think they make even 50% on each copy sold.
Another factor is 2 things. 1.europe has about 1mil in sales, most likely more. It'll profit alot less than normal (being about 40 msrp). (so about a third drop in profits?)
2. I would say about 400k-500k WW were bundle sales (thanks to euro+noa) which means the game itself won't be sold as much as a profit
The game I think overall budget and marketing was around 12mil dollars.

After reading miyamotoo post above I agree my initial 200m seems too high. So I'll go with 100-200m. So imo this new IP was responsible for about 1/3Rd of their profits. Amiibo could make up another 3Rd.

I would say splatoon overall profited 100mil-120mil. That said your mixing up the profits with only splatoon profits.
What I mean is your not taking in total gross. Splatoon isn't 1/3rd profits for entire year. Maybe 10 percent? Probably less but it's definitely 1 of the top reasons. As for amiibo, again probably less than splatoon
