Oh sure.
I'm just using the current sale price of $3.99 just as a consistent number to predict revenue. Just as it's been lower than $3.99, it's been higher too. 50% off seemed like a nice number to compromise on for a low-ball revenue figure, and even then that revenue figure is being very liberal with predictions about how many ownerships came from free giveaways.
I don't know if SEGA were expecting a bigger money-spinner, but given SEGA's existential crisis in 2012 I wouldn't discount that executive panic and serious downsizing killed the SEGA Heritage Collection regardless of any factor of success.
