taxman on 17 April 2009
| RPG said: In NA games are usually $60 right? Add the EU where games are discounted from the start (at least here in the UK) and assume for every first party game Sony get $15 for every copy sold. My A-level maths tells me $15 x 1000000 sales = $15 million No idea if that is close to break even point for games with high production value, my guess is that is not the case. Using the "GTA IV cost $100 million to make" example, would at least expect GT5 to be near that number. |
I seriously doubt they only get $15. That would mean that the 3rd parties who pay the $10 tax to Sony only get $5 per game....
PSN ID: T_Gears
End of 2009 ltd sales:
Wii = 67-68m
X360 = 38-39m
PS3 = 34-35m
Prediction: The PS3 will surpass the 360 on weekly sales after it drops to $299 on all regular weeks (no big releases).
