As theRepublic mentioned, if they lost money on selling a MINIMUM of 300k units, then they stuffed up. The revenue from 300k units should be around $15m gross and if they got around $20-25 as their cut from the game then they should have managed to bring in $6-7.5million to Capcom.
Considering Gears of War cost $10m to make, I would suggest the only reason they may have lost money on the title was because they spent $2m in Japan on advertising. Which in hindsight was the wrong market to spend all that money. They would have been better using that $2m to try and get the title on shelves worldwide, it's impossible to find.
Never argue with idiots
They bring you down to their level and then beat you with experience
