No.... BOTW had a much larger budget than $20m Here's what Miyamoto said in June 2016: "Breath of the Wild has over 100 staff, and over 300 people in the credits, spending over 5 years. Our current efforts will be helpful in the next production. The costs will be recovered by selling in large volumes, passing 2 million sales." If we assume that Nintendo only gets $40 profit after shipping/retailer fees that's still $80m to break even. And the 2m sales to break even may have even increased over the next 9 months until the game released. BOTW budget was probably between $75-90m |
Yeah you are right, but again, Zelda BotW is game that was 5 years in development and in one point there were more than 300 people working on Zelda game, and Zelda BotW had huge marekting push, I mean we even had hole E3 around Zelda BotW. I dont think that any other Nintendo game is coming even close with budget to Zelda BotW.
