nobody bought the game for over 9000 yen. It was selling for 7300 yen at many places on day 1. I'm not gonna bother speculating further.

so what?

S-E shipped it with an RRP of 9,000 yen

the store bought theme at that rate

i dunno what you mean by "that rate," you have no idea what that rate is but they are selling them that cheap because the profit margins are huge.  I'm not gonna pretend to know what it is exactly.

I don't know what the rate is, I'm assuming its S-E gets 60% of the RRP paid to them, so 5,400 yen for every FF13 copy shipped

even if its lower the game has profited

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

 

i agree the game has probably profited, but your calculations are too simple.  It has payed for marketing and costs for the PS3 version of the game being distributed in Japan i'm sure.  It probably hasn't payed for worldwide marketing and costs for both versions of the game WW.  Well it shouldn't have to, it has done quite well.
