Gosh that's alot.. I need numbers though to have a rough image of how much a developer can lose or gain if their game flops or is successful in the market.

I know that a DS game breaks even at 100k, HD games break even at about 1.3 million.. This is from end of 07 I think according to ubisoft.. I'll look into it a bit more for you.

Edit: this gives quite a bit of info - http://www.edge-online.com/news/ubisoft-well-have-quotnintendo-likequot-quality

I'm interested in this myself. I only know that Yves Guillemot (Ubisoft) has said that a PS360 multiplat adds about 10% to the cost of development.

Ubsioft said regarding PS3 and 360 development, that the lead version is 10% cheaper than the one it's ported to. So I guess it's interchangeable.

You might want to re-read that, it makes no sense.

Also Uncharted reportedly cost $20 Million to make and the second will have the same budget as the first..

Another bit of information i'd like to know is how does the $US50 or $US60 of a game sale get divided exactly?

I hope he talks about multiplat games. Because 1.3 million is too much for an exclusive.

That's what I remember...

Actually Games like Uncharted cost 20M to make
Killzone 2 costs only 25M to make but they have a 40M budget for Advertisement and Etc

Gears 1 and 2 cost about 10M to make and thats because Epic has made a shitload this gen from the Unreal engine

Halo cost 30M but had a huge cost for advertisement

and GTA cost 100M

Also on average according to Sony games only need to sell 500k to make profit as according to their greatest hits sales
