Wow, stick to gaming your accounting make no sense. Huge difference between revenue and profit. If the game been in production for 5 years, the cost is much higher than initially expected.

 

$60 is the retail price. Most retail store have a 30% mark up. Nintendo would receive only $42-45 per copies sold. 5M * 43.5 = 217.5M Revenue. Now they have to pay for all costs incurred to get the game to customer. (Marketing, Production [5 years worth of costs], Physical Packaging, etc.)  

Digital ?

Well digital sales are much more profitable, if you want to support Nintendo buy digital games. But, I think that Nintendo out of the big 3 would get the least numbers of sales digitally. Since they focus on younger audience and familly friendly. Just look at the amazon.com best seller for WiiU Eshop card are much lower compare to PS4 and Xbox One. 

I'm not saying they won't make a profit but it's much smaller then reported by other users. 

I think this game can sell well over 5M if you combine the WiiU and NX sales and NX is not another flop like the WiiU.
