Even if it cost $20 million to make the game will probably still net over $100 million in profit.

Pick a number. 50 Full Time staff working on it for three years and six months at an average of $60,000/employee...$10.5m. The engine, cartridges, etc probably add a couple million more. But I don't think its much more than that.

Most staff members at game companies don't get payed real well.

I'm not doubting it's going to make a ridicoulous amount of money. It will.

I just felt the need to interject a little about budgets of certain games. Regardless of platform, a long development time will guarantee a very expensive game.

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."
