We can conclude, with all the info spread on this thread, that a real flop is The order 1886... if the values are correct the order needs only to recover the inversion... sell 3.5 million copies, taking in consideration that it has no legs... so the real FLOP this month was The Oder 1886, sony just lose a lot of money on this game.

Since development wa split between santa monica and RAD the break even is probably closer to 1.4m units, the salary for US game development staff is notably lower, too lol.

The Order was in development for 5 years, you tell me kirby a 2d game, very simplistic (the same lvl as an indie game) needs to sell 600 k copies only to break even... but for the Order 1886 a game  in develoment for 5 years, with a lot of tech in it, a lot of pulicity, a lot  of everything, and it only needs 1.4 million to break even?, no your logic is not logic, or it is the logic of a SCEJ developer vs  a game from another company that is not sony.

it is simply because the game was majority funded by sony, which is done without an expectation of return, like Nintendo funding Bayonetta 2.

The studio themselves don't have as high of a break even because of this, just as platinum didnt because of Nintendo's funding, so you can take off your foil hat.
