I was being sarcastic. It would be a disaster if BotW would fail to sell 2 million.

Sorry about that. It's kind of hard to tell when someone is  being sarcastic on the internet sometimes.

Eh, it's alright. It also happens ot me sometimes.

If a game of this scope only needs 2 million to make a profit, makes me wonder how Nintendo ever loses any money since most of their games do over 1M and arent nearly as big as BOTW...

I think Nintendo very rarely lose money on their games, they have huge profit on their games, people forgetting that Nintendo made good profit even with GC that had price of $100 long time, they probably making some small profit even with Wii U.

Do you have a source saying Nintendo made a profit on the Gamecube? And I mean, on the actual Gamecube, not just in the Gamecube era where they also had the massively successful GBA.

No, its not nice, bigger budget = better game. If this game nbeeded to sell 5 mill to break even you can bet it'd be a much better game

Goodness no! GTA V had a huge budget, I find the game horrendously dull.

GTA games are special. For the fact half the budget ends up paying for the song rights. For all those radio stations. Those things aren't cheap.

Oh please, use your brain people, this is not true.

They were probably talking about the average Nintendo game, not this in particular. It would be awesome if they achieve such a great looking and ambitious game with that budget but is simply unrealistic, this game needs probably 3 times that to be really profitable, wich is not a problems because it will and most important it'll sell a ton of NX.

Specifically for GC, I dont, I know numbers show that Nintendo made much higher profit that gen than Sony with PS2. But Nintendo rearly have looss on hardware, I remmber that actuly Wii U is first Nintendo console on which they had small loss (only on launch, Nintendo said that is mostly because very negative exchange rate for yen at that time). Also why Wii U didnt had price cut yet and basically still have launch price, because they made money with that price and with price cut most liky would make them loss.
