| Spankey said: how can guys like Ubi make more from PS3 sales than they make from higher numbers on the 360? I might have an answer, perhaps Sony lets Devs and publishers have a bigger slice of the sales pie than MS does. for instance, a multiplat game sells for $60 retail. Sony only takes $5 from the sale, but MS takes $10 automatically leaving more pie for the dev/publisher per sale on a PS3 than they would get from a similar sale on the 360. Note that I'm pulling all these numbers from my ass, but to me it seems like it could be a possible reason. |
first of all it's been shown this is a case of cherry picking, not that PS3 is doing bad but it's not doing better than the 360 even in revenue. The second issue is that this is revenue, and revenue does not mean profit. Revenue has nothing to do with how much Sony takes for royalties, if the game is sold at $60, the revenue is $60.
