To all of those that think SEGA's both hardcore games bombed.

Both titles are still selling decently. Another year on the market should see those sales (500k) increase by another 50%, bringing it to around 750k.


With a higher assumption that each game cost $7.5m (higher echelon Wii game) to make plus $2m advertising, you get $17m. Sega sells to retailers with an even lower assumption of $26. $26x 500k=$13m. The last 250k come at a reduced price point, making it $13 sold to retailers.

(THIS number is a problem because we do not know how much that number really is, we're not retailers)

$13 x 250k = $3.25m. That adds up to about $16.25m, $750,000 short of the mark I had. But lets look at revenue:

$50 x the initial (500k, but I'll use 485k) = $24.25m
$23 (standard Gamestop price) x the remaining 260k (round up to 750k) =$5.98m

The numbers change according to European currency, but excluding that,you get around $30.23m dollars. European money makes it much more lucrative, but this is all just speculation and assumption, take it with a high grain of salt.
