The retail sales of GT5P have probably already paid off all of GT5's development expenses thus far and then some. Who knows how many copies they've sold via the PSN. |
Could not disagree more.
They say each car takes about 6 months to make.
So your paying each graphic designer for basically 2 cars... for a full years work.
Lets say 700 cars.
That's 350 graphic designers.
Say you pay them an insulting 20,000 a year.
That's already 7 million dollars for just the car graphic designers.
Throw in damage modeling, tracks, the game engine (which has to be percise.)...
They'll need to crack the old GT numbers to make a profit on this one.
40 out of 60 seems generous considering all the other costs assosiated with making the game as well. (Discs/instruction printing/shipping) etc.
