Marketing could add another 20 million of costs. UC2 had a Big marketing push.

30 dollar  profit per sold seems high. If it were that high, then a lot gamecompany's wouldn't have gone bankrupt.

Uncharted 2 is also bundled a lot which means it's sold under it's price. I'm not sure by how much but profits from bundles will be low.

 

 

 

Gamecompany?  I am confused? by gamecompany you mean like SE, Activsion or EA? If it is then, Sony doesn't get the whole $30 they only get a small fraction of it.

Since Uncharted 2 is a First party game $30 is seems about right, no royalties whatsoever and also I think Thesource mention $38? not so sure about that.

As for the advertising budget I can't comment on how much budget Sony use for uncharted. Let's just use your 20 million theory. That leaves about 5 million profit and remember uncharted 2 is still selling.

Yeah, I meant gamestudio's.

Even if the advertising buget is 20 million. Then the current profits could still be undercut by the bundling loss. ( Although i don't know if Sony itself takes that for their account. It could be. )

 

My point was that it wasn't going to make profits (off course it will) but that it would make little profit for a first-party game. Sony does need gamessales to comepensate for the PS3 loses. And first-party should be a big part of that.

 

Forgot to address this one. There's was no serious bundling for uncharted 2. Last time I heard it was only bundle to 250 gig models and it was only limited. It was also not bundled in the important day in USA the black friday. Unless you can show me that uncharted 2 have a major bundling?

I also being conservative with the numbers it already sold 1.97 million already. Even if there's adjusment to be made it will be only 100k+ less. Just do the math my friend. Like I said this will continue to sell. BTW that's only sold to consumers not the retailers, so just imagined they shipped more than that.
