2 years of "INTENSE" development (confirmed from square-enix)
lets be a bit high & say it cost 80 Million, right, now marketing in Japan only, lets add 10 million = 90 million
I dunno retailer percentages in japan in terms of how much money the publisher gets, lets assume S-E gets 60% of the $90 its costs
so they get $54 per copy sold
So its sold 1.8 million which means first shipment is finished, lets assume S-E has shipped 200K more so that it has 2 Million shipped now:
$54 x 2 Million = 108 Million
So its made a profit by those calculations, taking into account dev cost to be 80 Million WHICH IS A LOT
this isn't even counting the dough they made from FF13 POTIONS, merchandise & the overpriced PS3 FF13 bundles
I know MANY of you want it to fail as its not like FF 1 - 6 or 9 or whatever.....but its not going to fail guys
**all financial figures & retailer publisher cuts are basically speculation, so if you have hard figures let me know so that I can refine the calculations!
this has been made due to the VGchartz user naum & several people hoping it would fail/bomb/flop, thats impossible now as its already made money
