How profitable was it after selling 2m? It was an expensive game to make, but I guess alot of that hard work goes towards the engine in general which will be used in K3, and maybe some other games too? (hopefully)

I believe it costed 20-30 million dollars, so I think it's safe to assume that it was profitable.

Ummm..there are those from the opposing camps that will tell you it costed twice that figure you mentioned.

Either way the engine is now in place so K3 will be far more profitable, it will also be on a far bigger userbase.

The sales fluctuate, the week of 10th Oct K2 did 25,000+, before that it was on and off and mostly down than up the VGcharts.

The slim has given it a new lease of life.

I am confident it will have steady legs due to it's reputation as the best looking shooter (best looking game before U2) on a console.

I hope it get to 3million without bundling.

And those people get their information based off a Sufer Girl rumor. We have GG saying their budget was 30 million dollars. I don't think they doubled that in less than a year. That'd basically require a full tear down of the game and a revamp.... think about it logically.... in order to double the budget... they would have had to spend just as much money in 1 year as they did in 2.5 years... They would have need to basically scratch the entire almost finished project... and make a new one in half the time...

seriously think about that... If they doubled the budget... the dev time would have been closer to 7 years.
