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

7.5M is  20% of 37.5M..... So... you kinda just showed how your 10% crap you stated earlier means nothing....

Com'on don't be ridiculous. You think I wasn't aware of that?¨

I showed an example from the other end of the spectrum, namely one of the more successful 1st party games for Sony in this generation.

The purpose was to show how comparatively low the profit figure 20% is, to give people an idea of how unlikely it actually is that the profitable 1st party games of this gen outweights the unprofitable ones.
