Jason why you haven't fixed the title yet? Your title sounds like ''all Nintendo games need to sell 2m to be profitable'' when it's about big budget ones ( in Nintendo's standards ), it's not difficult to understand this, since miyamotto used TLOZ BOTW as a paradigm when he made this statement!
Do you think that TLOZ BOTW development c osts as much as Captain toad treasure tracker?
So many hours passed since the thread was made, with so many complains about the misleading title and title still the same!

It's frustrasting that you haven't perceived your mistake or rather your omission, it should have been specified what Nintendo games need to sell 2m to be profitable ! No mod cared to correct it? Now most of the people who just read the title and ignored the op, will have the notion that every Nintendo game needs to sell 2m to be profitable and whichever fails to sell 2m is unprofitable... :!

Of course you have been misled by the wrong wording of zhuge, '' average games'', he means the bigs  ones by that, he has clarified it in a later tweet!

Average means that some games can do with less, while some others need more. The title is slightly misleading ('on average' should really be added to it), but I don't think the average thing has a mistake. I also could not find the clarification tweet you mentioned, despite looking at almost all of his tweets after the one talking about averages. If there's a clarification tweet, I'd really like you to link it here.
