Well like I said, the dev team has been reduced. And you have to think about the time and Nintendo too. Let's say Mewtwo was made by a team of 20 people over the course of 3 months. If 100 thousand of him were purchased that would get roughly 400,000 USD. At first that sounds like a lot, but half of that goes to Nintendo itself. most likely, then theanother 25% probably goes to operating cost, and maybe finally the last 25%(100,000) actually comes out as pay. which for those 20 people would be 5,000 each for 3 months work. Which is a pretty reasonable salary but nothing amazing.It's not like these characters are free though. And making a character doesn't take as much effort as making fifty characters plus stages plus game modes.
Granted those might not be anywhere close to the real numbers, but it's just to show how fast money can disappear when you work with lots of people and as a subsidiary company.
