Although the sales figures are strong by most standards the game is reported to have cost over EUR 40 million to develop.

Wow, that's $55 million in US dollars.

 

1.60 million X 59$ = 94.4 million is U.S dollars............until now

Also notice that Sony must have shipped close to 2 millions by now to retailers

You know that Sony doesn't get all of that money, right?  First party publishers get somewhere around half of the retail price of a game.

I think it is $20-25, so at $25, assuming they have shipped 2m, they have received $50m so far, so they are going to make back the money, but it is not going to make that much profit

1 question, If Sony only got $25 per copy then the retailers is profiting $35 per copy?

That's a pretty big profit from the retailers IMO.
