Um what??? This game sold more than 500k in the first 4 week for NA number alone (and this certainly at full price), even taking into account a new engine, the revenue generated should be more than enough to see a profit?

How does game like infamous have a respectable sale at 500k (enough to warrant planning for a sequel) yet these fellas could barely break even @ 1.5 million copies sold??

$35*500,000 = $17,500,000. That's the publisher revenue for the first 4 weeks of sale in NA alone, surely this game didn't cost something staggering like $30m+ ?

I don't see how a game which probably generated $30 million plus in total sale to the publisher can 'barely break even' on the developer front, if that was the case, insomniac, suckerpunch and the like would have gone multiplat this gen for sure.

This doesn't make sense :(
