Fun Fact: Nintendo's interest on their Cash Reserve is enough to fund Breath of the Wild

[roadkillers]

Back in 2015 it was reported that Nintendo had $4.6 Billion in the bank as a reserve or "just in-case". That $4.6 billion in the bank earns interest and even at these incredibly low interest rates Nintendo is making a nice fortune. 

Let's say they are earning a 1% interest a year (which at this point is probably the lower end, 1.3 - 1.4 % might be closer). At 1% Nintendo earns 46 million dollars a year. In a earnings report Nintendo stated "We need to sell 2 million to break-even". Take out of account the money retail makes when selling games and you got yourself a 40-50 million dollar game. Fun Fact. I like how they save their money :) :) :) That is awesome.
