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

Well he didn't say that here of course but Nintendo said that in another thing...

According to that... Zelda needs 2 million sales to be profitable so... Its very odd that other Nintendo games require the same amount of sales considering just how huge of a project it really is compared to other Nintendo titles.

That Gamespot article is quoting an apparent mistranslation coming out of the Investor Q and A this week-  That is what the guy Zhuge in this thread was saying-  That the various gaming sites etc used an inacurate quote/translation , that the actual quote siad Nintenod needs to sell 2 million for an average Nintendo game-  So if that is the acuarate translation then the gamespot article is wrong (along with all the others that ran the same story based on the same mistranslation-    Nintendo will release their english translation soon ( i think about a week or so)- when they do anyone can read the quote -  and see what if any additional context was used
