So Michael Pachter predicted 450,000 for Chinatown Wars sales (March)?

88,000 copy isnt bad for a ds game.
88,000 * $50 = $4,400,000.. the game probably cost $1 or $2 million to make my son :) plus the psp version did way worse

1. Does this game really cost $50??

2. That's revenue, not profit

3. It probably cost more then that

4. PSP version did better. Unless you are comparing it's sales from NPD in October, where it was released on the 31st, meaning it had 1 day of sales.

 

sorry it cost $29.99

ok lets say retail gets it for $20 and then publisher get it for $10 ($10 goes to nintendo)

then after all costs like marketing, advertising, game evlopment, voice acting etc they make $3 per copy 88,000 * $3 = $264,000. that is a lot of money!
