yeah i think they are looking at a 2+ million in sales. Is that enough to save the farm? I can't tell...

It's been about 5 years with 40 devs, so I would guess a budget of around $25m. That is going by Naughty Dog's 90 people working for 2 years to make $20m game in Uncharted 2, so that should be enough to make back the budget

Yeah they should be fine at 2 million. Sounds like Remedy kept a lot of the elements for this game in house. Their own engine is key. I think they will cover their costs and then some at 2 million sold. Obviously it all depends on the publisher deal they have with MS.
