Is it just me or do others look at these PS3 sales threads and think 1 million is that it? For such a "massive" game shouldn't it be looking at tens of millions like an average Nintendo game? It'll be lucky to reach 2 million at this pace

The world is not a fair pace, and I don't understand how you can think that it won't reach 2m

The game cost $20m to make, so the dev costs have been repaid after 1m, and probably after 1.5m the marketing costs are covered. (Sony probably gets about $25-30 per game)

If I recall, a first party developer studio gets about 40$ for each game sold (around 20$ for the retailers and printing/shipping costs).



Bet with Dr.A.Peter.Nintendo that Super Mario Galaxy 2 won't sell 15 million copies up to six months after it's release, the winner will get Avatar control for a week and signature control for a month.
