Some still may have already passed that, others haven't. But regardless, look at each of these games individually. Most of them are not that resource heavy. 2m sales would mean that these games had a budget of at least 40m $ each (if we keep it real low and say the average revenue is 20$ a copy). |
Even Xenoblade X, which seems like the 2nd most ambitious Wii U game after BotW basically reused the engine of the original Xenoblade, so that had to cut down on a lot its development time and costs -- plus it had next to zero advertising, which is probably the biggest expense for most games nowadays.
