I'll just make this as simple as possible. If the amount of earned revenue exceeds the development cost, marketing cost, platform cuts, and publishing cost, then the game is making a profit. A game can sell below 1 million and still be successful if it is not expensive to make.

Yes that's true. The sad thing is ... Microsoft has many millions of dollars - but new big ip's or singleplayer games are not interesting enough in their eyes -.-
