This thinking does not incorporate volume. It is far more profitable to sell 10000 units with $20 in margin than 1000 units with $100 in margin. Also, you dramatically drive down the cost of production per unit when you sell 10x the volume, take 10x the market share, up word of mouth by 10x and have 10x the negotiation power with publishers.
