How much does a PS3 game like Heavenly Sword cost to make? I want to know how much they have to sell to make their money back. After Ninja Gaiden's performance, you have to wonder if they will delay Heavenly sword a little closer till Christmas to maximize sales.

Namco Bandai (an actual developer) and Lazard (a market analyst) put the number of copies between 500,000-600,000 for the average PS3 game, but Heavenly Sword may be higher than that, as its development costs were quite high, I understand.
