Slimebeast said: Uncharted profit analysis: Budget: $20 million (official number) marketing: $10 million (low estimation) Total expenses = $30 million Total lifetime copies shipped: 2.5 million - of which 1.25 million bundled - of which 1.25 million sold at retail Revenue: 1.25 million x $30 million (generous estimation of per copy revenue) = $37.5 million Profit: $37.5 - $30 mill = $7.5 million |
Uncharted sold 1.4m in Others alone, where there were not any official bundles. In another thread I estimate that it sold 2m un-bundled copies. And once again, $10m is rubbish, it was barely advertised. Apart from LBP, barely and Sony games have actually been advertised, but that only cost $5m to make
