Retailer Margin = $12
Packaging/Disc = $3
Distribution, market development fee whatever? = $5

Total for Sony's pocket $40 over say 2M shipped = $80M

Game cost = $40M
Marketing = $20M

Profit as it stands? = 20M or 33%

How does that look?

That definitely seems too high, how would all these companies make so many losses when they get $20m from 1m sales, a figure which most decent PS360 games seem to reach

sony doesnt have to pay themselves for putting it on their system. sony also doesnt have to pay themselves licensing fees. (i believe theose are seperate) sony is also publisher and dev

Yeah, but how much does that take off that figure, I still think it is way to high
