Games that you think will fail to turn a profit.

This thread makes no sense as we don't know how much each game cost to make. just because a game has a high amount of graphics don't mean the price to make it wont turn out a profit.

If we can set a bar on making a profit then that would make sense. lets say 200,000 * $60 copies of a game needs to be sold to match development costs on a average ps3 and 360 game. 150,000 * $50 for a full fledged Wii game (not old ports new games like say boogie or no more heroes). 100,000 *40 for DS and PSP games.
I'm no industry analyst but having a calculator helps your logic.

 Of course we don't know what it costs to make most of the games. It's just fun to speculate. It's like who is going to win the World Series? We don't know but people like to analyze. Be it we only have a rough idea of how much each game costs but we do know even with minimal development costs for some games, they will need to sell so many copies to turn profit. I don't think anyone here is claiming to know anything for certain. Some big titles bomb and some low key titles are sleeper hits.  

That said does anyone know how much a company makes on a $60 game? I have trouble believing it's 40 dollars profit. Also I don't think Boogie will bomb. I think it will start off slow and pick up at Christmas. The free mic will sell it.
