Yakuza 3 only broke even huh? That's... disapointing... considering everyone here thought it sold really well.

Its break even on the sale to date. They can still spend little money translating and shipping to the rest of the world and make profit of it.

Localization and especially marketing costs are not to be taken lightly.

what marketing?

They'll release a high-profile (it's not Opoona), not Western-accepted game overseas and not spend on marketing? What for? Satisfy fans? Please...

20% for programmers? Hardly. As one, although not in the same caliber/branch I can say we don't get nearly enough paid, nowhere near the graphics/design guys.
