KZ2 budget and revenue:

Dev cost:
100 team average x 4 years x $100,000 = $40 million.

Add some outsourcing costs (some AI, perhaps some texture work, some of the sound & music/orchestratingm voice actors etc) ~ $10 million.
--------------
= ~$50 million

Marketing (hard to estimate):
~$30-40 million?
-----------
total expenses: $80-90 milion


Each game copy sold generates $30.

So it would need to sell 2.67-3 million to break even.

Early numbers indicate a 900,000-1 million copies opening week, which means lifetime sales of 4 million.

4 million generates $120 million. So, pretty much guaranteed to make at least a lil profit.

no fucking way they spent that much on ads. also you are having them work on 2 ps2 games 1 psp game and 1 ps3 game.... so... 100 guys working on the ps3 5 guys on the psp 8 on the one ps2 game and 7 on the other? being publisher and dev sony would get closer to 40 dollars per game
