Sales - splitting the profit - View Post

i'm just curious how the money is divided up when a console game is sold.

hypothetically, lets say a 3rd party developer makes a game for the xbox 360 and is published by Electronic Arts. And it's being sold at Bestbuy for $60 ok.


so how much of that $60 goes to the following companies:

1-Electronic Arts
2-The developer
3-Microsoft
4-The retail store (Bestbuy in this case)

am I missing someone? if anyone can shed some light on this that would be great.
