Look at SO4 for example...the game sold 530,000 copies...$30 something million in sales...so just how much did it cost to develop the game? Are you telling me M$ give them THAT much money...I doubt it...more like M$ provide seed money to Tri-Ace and SE...on the flipside...look at how MORE copies of Lost Planet sold on the 360, over the PS3...are you telling me they didn't make out better on the 360---1.8 Million vs 460K...hmmmmm....
