For a $60 game id estimate: -- $12 goes to SONY/ Microsoft / Nintendo -- $18 goes to the retailer -- $5 for manufacture / transport costs -- $20 publisher -- $ 5 developer (publishers will sometimes get this as well due to owning the developer or paying for the product to be made) That is also an example of why 1st party games can get away with low sales -- since SONY/M$/Nintendo would get the $12 license fee + $20 publisher fee + $5 developer fee... allowing them make a lot more money or minimize costs... ** if anyone finds any flaws in my own assumptions for the break down of games cost please tell me where and what since if you have more accurate info id like to find it ... |
Where did you get these number?
