So for a 50$ game, the devs make about 32+$ Then you need to factor in dev costs and so forth. it probably comes to about 6$ profit per game. I think most wii games require about 300-400k sales to turn profit, so that would mean they cost maybe 2-4M, high quality ones being the latter, or maybe about 6M or so. |
You've left out publishers. And I'm assuming you're lumping in distributors with retailers?
