Any idea what the budget was for this game? I've heard $40-50m (take with a grain of salt though), so with say 2 million shipped, it's made a profit, but likely not as much as anyone had hoped. |
4 years of development time from a studio who grew up to 130 people in those 4 years. With a PSP title being worked on for 25 months taking some of those 130 people away. Game being nearly completed months before launch with preview codes being a testament to that. Meaning not nearly as many people need to be working on the game during the end of development... especially for those months when it was practically completed. Most generous estimate puts it at 40 million. You are also forgetting about DLC when you take profitablity into account.
