| Gilgamesh said: Of course From what I know developers get $20 or $30 off a $60 game. So let's say they make $25 off each game, that's 3.78 million X 25 = 94 million. The game wouldn't cost more then 30 million IMO, they made Uncharted 2 really fast (around 1 year). So they made big profit, and this game isn't going to stop at 3 million either, I'd say it can get close to 4 million. Also not sure what ODST has to do with Uncharted 2 making profit? |
I remember that retailers usually receive $7-8 for every game sold, and Sony $-7$10, and $1-2 for royalties(ex. Fifa) and maybe $2-3 for production and shipment. Basically the $60 go to Developer + Publisher + Sony + Retailer + Others costs.
ND is a Sony company, and Sony is also the publisher of the game, and Sony don`t have to pay BRD royalties(i believe) and must be the manufacturer of all BRD burner machines.
So i think that the minimum that Sony gets from the game is $45. Maybe even $50.
But i can be very wrong. This all is just speculation.
