and a Wii game expected to cost 5 million to 6 million euros ($7.8-$9m) to develop."

 

You need more?

I'm not pulling anything on you.  Show us the results of those Ubisoft investments you quoted, please.  Nothing else in your post is Wii-specific, so.. surely that was what you wanted everyone to see?

Left the bolded and final in to show what i'm responding to.

Firstly i'm appalled that i've actually had to quit lurking to reply to this absurdity and as a proud lurker for years it shames me.

Secondly some basic math. going by the upper figure quoted + $1 mil for other costs like discs, cases, shipping and the pitiful amount of ads that are inherent in Ubisoft made games. So 10 million dollars total, a game would have to sell ~250k to break even at a $40 pricepoint. A quick check on the VGchartz game database shows 26 games above that (majority of which without others data so may be a few more) that have been published by Ubisoft. If anyone has the Ubisoft Financial breakdown to beat this point in even further feel free to add i'll be off trying to become the guy.
