He was probably answering a question one of the shareholders asked him regarding the budget of the game, seeing as how this IS the biggest and most expensive title that Nintendo has ever made!

2M to get back production costs. What about marketing?

Easy Peasy, will do that on Wii U alone I think.

Between two (possibly three) platforms, it should easily do more than double that imo.

"Miyamoto: 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 2m sales. A game is a hit in the domestic market if it reaches 300k sales, but we’re targeting worldwide sales. "

They just talking how much would need to sell copies so game become profitable for them, not about how much they expecting it will sell.

I doubt that. These morons have killed the Wii U, the only console that this game would have had a chance to sell. NX will be dead on arrival so nobody will buy it for NX. It may sell around 1 million lifetime.

Hi Gamemaster87, nice new account.

If you dont buying new Nintendo console because you had some delusional expectations about Nintendo Wii U support and Wii U life cycle, that fine, but that doesn't mean nobody will buy NX and new Zelda, actually new Zelda will sell ton of NXs.

Could you please explain me who Gamer87 is?

I did not have delusional expectations. I just did not expect that Nintendo are a bunch of liars, frauds and thieves. My mission is to tell more people that Nintendo are liars so that people realize that they shouldn't support them anymore.
