theprof00 said: what? It plainly says this: "so let's assume it's four years to be fair [Red Dead Revolver was released in March 2004], that's $40 million (about $10 million a year to run the studio) -- to make that back and just break even you need at least $80 million in sales; 1.75 million units. For profit: $160 million/3.5 million units."" To make that back and just break even, you need 80$ million in sales;1.75 million units. 5m is to be profitable. |
I was thinking the same thing at first, but that 1.75 is guesstimates by Pachter, and the later is an Update when they got contacted by Rockstar themselves. And some guy there claimed they needed 5m to recoup dev.costs.
