Konami definitely can't be happy with the sales
They sold 3m. We know the publisher gets close to 40$ for each sold game. That's 120m. We know that they got some sweet conditions from Sony so I would be really surprised if they did pay the 10$ tax for the console publisher. I am also quite sure that Sony paid a bit of their advertisement etc.
So whatever money they paid for development they are definitely happy with the sales. You can be sure about that. So go back into the place you came from. |
Actually publishers get around $25,- (and have to pay the developer from that)
Sony gets $9,
Retailer gets $ 12,-
Marketing: $7,-
Distribution, manufacturing: $3,-
And no, in Sony's current financial situation they definitely didn't cut the fee's from one of the best selling games.

Based on your estimates if Konami is indeed geting $25 per game then seeing as how they have shipped at least 4 million copies, the return is $100 million dollars. Even if the game cost 50 million to develop they have still made a cool $50 million in profits.
