what are you smoking? lets use american currency for a typical game, $60 right.
The store does not buy the game for $60. if they did, they would not make any money. They mark up their games. Your a AAA moron if you think otherwise. Or how do you think stores make money on games then if they sell them for the same amount they buy them for.
edit: now yes they could have sold FFXIII on release day for same price they bought it for, or even lower because of belief that if they get costumers in their store to buy the game they will buy other things too. Stores mark up on average roughly 15% on all products they buy. I dont' know if same for video games, but I don't see why not. So a store buys a game for roughly $51.00. not sure what average mark up is in other coutnries, so not going to post. But all people who constantly try and do math with $60 per game is just being stupid. You have to take into store mark up's besides the other deductions all before getting to the dev return
