viper - tell your friend to post a breakdown. also, i wasnt aware that every investor had inside knowledge of Sony internal studios... i wonder why MS doesnt just invest and see everything sony is up to and counter it... im also very surprised these investors are alway so tight lipped and there arent more leaks... im also surprised that kz2 budget comes into question after ridiculous rumor and more investors dont reveal more game budgets... conclusion using common sense - your wrong

That's right, posting budgets of games has absolutely no credibility unless you work for the company in question and have inside knowledge.  Otherwise you're just pulling numbers out of your ass.  You must always prove where your numbers are coming from and provide the proper breakdown if you wish to be taken seriously. 

Unless of course it supports one of your arguments.....

Dont forget the fact they developed a completely new engine which will be used in further games. Does anybody have a number how much the engine cost and how much the rest of the game?

So any further game based on this engine can be partly seen as revenue to those 40 mil. sure further cost will arise but way less than killzone2.

So from my perspective, if killzone2 is able to break even on this engine and the costs of killzone2 itself -> well done!

Uncharted was ground up new engine the game cost around 20million including advertising i believe
