No, the break even point would be 2/3 but since the PS4 version likely did significantly more than just break even than the Switch version would not need to sell 2/3 as much as PS4.

And why would you go just for break even?

Besides ROI there is cost of opportunity. If the game port cost close to another version but sell much lower that isn't good at all.

PS4 version done 2.66M, X1 done less than 1M, do you think Switch will do 1.8M or will the margin of the investment on the PS4 port be much higher?

Nothing i said implies they are going for just breaking even, i said the break even point would be 2/3 of PS4 and since the PS4 version did significantly more than just break even, it does not need to sell 2/3 as much to be profitable.

 

I absolutely do not think the Switch version will sell 1.8 million or be as profitable as the PS4 version and i highly doubt Blizzard expects that either.
