(Including packaging shipping, paying employees advertising ect...) and a game costs $60 it's simple math. 15,000,000 divided by 60 is the total number of units they need to sell to break even. which is 250,000. at 20Million that number becomes 333 Thousand. They may have to sell more than a Wii game but most games can easily sell 250,000 no matter how crappy. |
Devs don't receive the $60 from each game sale. They receive more like $15. Publishers get a larger percentage. So they need to sell a million games to break even on a 15 million dollar game.
To cash in my CC rewards points for $300 in Circuit City gift cards to purchase a 360 or not: That is the question.
