Sleeping Dogs has sold an estimated 1.75 million copies to day, followed by Tomb Raider at 3.4 million and Hitman at 3.6 million. Square Enix blames these "slows sales" in part for its "extraordinary" financial losses this year.

Incredible but true, but the losses where included in last year's fiscal, not this past quarter.

That's baffled me honestly. Is the industry that much of a mess that games that sell over 3 million copies are not profitable? How did they spend so much money?

I don't know. ¿Marketing?

Hell, I don't even know anymore when they use loss because they have really lost money or because they expected to win 100, have only won 90 and therefore have "lost" 10.

We live in a mad, mad world.

@20happyballs: I was aware of that, but thanks. But still, something has caused them to book that unexpected loss, and that something may be the cancellation of games.
