He is saying he average" Nintendo game- i have no doubt that Zelda BOW needs more than 2 million sales and a game like Mario Tennis a good bt less than 2 million

Games like Mario Kart, Smash, Splaton etc had substantial advertising campaigns - were as games like Zenoblade, Toad Treasure tracker etc had much lower advertising budgets

In that case, this whole statement is pointless since we never know what game which budget had. It's just a number thrown at the crowd with no concluding information.

intendo is not going to disclode line item budgets for their games-  However, since they were addressing the stockholders, they gave a base numbers or "ball park number"  I m not sure what is difficult to understand-  the 2 million is a reference point for their games on avergae- obviously some will be higher and some lower  but the 2 million # is a good "rule of thumb"  

I believe it was Myamoto who provided this 2 million number-  but Nintendo will release their official english language version of the Q and A soon so everyone who wants can read it when they do
