Possible on Boogie, I have no idea what it cost to make or what the pack in mic cost. As for RE4 it's 60% the price and probably won't sell as much as Red Steel (though it should get close) so it may come closer to Red Steel's profit than I made it sound. To be clearer with the numbers, I'm guessing Red Steel cost $10-12 million and made around $25-30 million while RE4 cost $2-3 million and will make somewhere between $12 and $15 million.
As for Bioshock I made an error, while using WW sales for those two I was only thinking in terms of NA sales for Bioshock. I'm guessing it's in the $25 million cost and $40-45 million revenue ranges. So while the gross profit margin is much higher for RE4 and higher for Red Steel, total profit is about the same for Bioshock and Red Steel while Bioshock should be slightly higher than RE4.
