Assuming they all got it for full price (which they didn't alpha/beta prices were reduced) that'd be $449,694,491.40
The game is available on both Xbox One/360 and PS3/4 in addition to all the merchendise they push.
They make money.

Reports say they made 100 million in profit last fiscal year. I feel like microsoft might go the nintendo way, and charge youtubers who play the game a fee to post videos.

Now that is how you partially kill off a game instantly.
