eh. That was the weakest of the arguments that I made so I understand disagreement. What I've been trying to say is that the company didn't lose money from the game. I'm not saying the game has made Sony teh hundred millions that people were thinking it would. Simply saying "It's not a flop."

 

@NiKKoM,

I'm sorry. but you aren't from America obviously. It probably is kind of expensive. And what is the super ball? lol And 100.000 per second? Now who is pulling figures out of the air?

Also, the in game graphics probably didn't cost nearly as much as everyone is saying that they do. If anything, having a

Sorry meant Super Bowl..

and I said $ 100.000 for 30 sec spot

Don't believe me?

Commercials during less-watched programs are more affordable, but the cost of those commercials may still run in excess of $100,000 per 30-seconds.

That means 100k at the most during "less-watched programs" in some cases. Also, the cost for creating the commercials probably aren't nearly as high as the others (I.E. - Late Night Programming, Reruns of old movies/tv shows), which both Cartoon Network and Comedy Central tend to thrive off of. Also, a lot of the commercials I see are littlebigplanet sponsored by Burger King. So Sony might contribute some to the commercial but not the bulk of it. The other commercials (normally the mural commercial) I normally see are for PS3/PSN games in general, so I wouldn't incorporate it with complete Sony costs. The amount of commercials I see for LittleBigPlanet by itself are relatively lower.

Well.. thing is... they are worldwide.. Sony could be spending thousands and thousands of dollars a day on commercials.. TV ads & Magazine ads all over the world.. sure some countries are cheaper to advertise in.. sure some are sponsored.. but still.. think about it.. even if they had 300 (just a number.. but I think they have at least reached that) tv ads alone in america.. half of them were sponsored.. say at 50.000 dollar each.. 150 times 50.000 = $ 7.500.000..

And with the amount of advertising seen all over the world for LBP....

Let's just say this was an expensive campaign..
