They have said its a billion dollar franchise for them.

Lets say 5 million at full price. Retailer gets what $10 so Sony takes $50 = 250,000,000 just play with the math you should get a descent ball park figure.

I'm pretty sure the retailer gets more than that. Plus, packing, manufacturing and shipping. And not every copy will be sold at full price.

And another thing to count, most of sales won't be in full price. GT is like a concept game of PS brand, and this franchise is heavily bundled and get several discount with time. Sure, considering this game sells 10 million at least 5 million will be sold at full price... And we forget that Sony makes more money from each copy sold in EU than in US, and EU is the main region for GT sales, and in japan this game will have a higher price, someting like FF and DQ have in that region. Another good thing for profit in this games is that PD will push downloadable content hard, there will be several cars, tracks, championships,songs, acessories and other stuff for purchase at PSN.
