With so many big publishers losing money or making ridiculously small profits on 10 million + selling games maybe it's time they abandoned HD content for now!

DING DING DING DING DING! Sure the HD content is amazing, but the market for them isn't expanding nearly as much as the cost to develop the games is. I doubt we'd really want a price hike on software to balance the scale.

MW2 made $2B.....first week. Wtf are you guys talking about? $2B revenue - $50M R&D and Development = $1.95B profit. Ridiculously small?

 

 

THose numbers are pulled from ypour ass and you know it MW2 shipped what 17 million copies to date? Thats ~ a little over a billion in revenue TO DATE, and not 2 billion in a week. Also total budget, with advertisement was over 200 million, and this is actually a quote from a dev. Please, dont write bullshit when you dont have a clue what you are talking about. Some people might actually believe you...

My bad, I was trying to remember something off the top of my had, and I got the numbers screwed up. It wasn't "pulled out of my ass" as you say, just bad recall on the part of my memory. I saw this picture over a month ago, and I just didn't recall it correctly.

Now, despite the *big* flub in my numbers, as of the beginning of this year, MW2 made $750M in profit, and add on whatever it has sold since the beginning of January. Couple that with them making $100M a month on WoW, and that guy that said "you'd think they would post in the black" just looks silly
