Despite its cult - following and legacy, Psychonauts sold poorly at release, resulting in severe losses for Majesco Entertainment; the title was deemed a «
commercial failure», selling roughly 100,000 retail
copies during its launch window.
With the TV show taking the world by storm, it was a great decision by Nintendo to release an updated version of the original games as it was a
commercial success which went on to sell millions of
copies during its life span.
