Guys not all the POS take goes back to the DEV

For instance in the UK Games are 40 GBP on average. But the shop gets them for around 32 GBP.

Distribution and packaging 5 GBP.

Royalties to medium provider 5 GBP.

So the 22 GBP or half of the games POS take is all that makes it back to the DEV.

A game costing 22 million to make therefore must sell a million to break even.

Not many games ever hit GBP22 million.

Gears of War 1 only cost $10 million. I would assume its quite cheap though because the engine is already made etc etc.

Halo 3 cost a rumored $30 million. Payed off for Microsoft since they have made around half a billion dollars off of it.

This still makes me laugh!

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,

To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."
