only if the whole of the cost of development for MGS4 were taken into consideration for this single quarter, and even then the revenue isn't enough to account for $70m. Though you do bring up a valid aspect of revenue vs profit I was blind to.
So I suppose it is quite possible MGS4 has made its money back by now if we can assume the entirety of revenue that never became profit is all MGS4's and nothing else.
Either way, looking at it in this new light MGS4 may not be as bad off as I had originally thought, but still more information needs to be known if such is the case or not.
There is no way Konami is making anymore than $20 off each unit sold unless Sony cut them in on part of their share too.
