The game will sell at least 6ml

2 mil only? That'll be easy. It could probably do that within a month. I'm guessing at least 6 mil.

Total sales or just on WiiU or NX?

I'm really surprised by this. I wonder if Miyamoto is including the marketing cost as well.
I thought it would have needed around 6 Million sales to make money. I was only off by 4 million :0

Lol at 6m units. :)

This means that the budget for this game wasn't big?

This Nintendo game with biggest budget ever and biggest team ever, this basically best Nintendo project ever.

No full voice acting and limited marketing budgets cut costs of development (at least in comparison to other big aaa games).

I dont think nintendo is using alot (expensive) motion capturing and co either.

They are just lucky they have a loyal fanbase who will buy this games anyway, so why should the invest money in expensive technologies.

Game looking great and that doesn't have anything with loyal fan base. You dont need expensive technologies to make great looking or great game!?

It'll probably do that it's first week alone.



I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016

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

An extra 200k-400k? Looks good considering the game will do over 5mil so its all profit

And other games need 5 million to even break even... how the hell do some companies spend their money.



If it isn't turnbased it isn't worth playing   (mostly)
