LA Noire is very expensive. Didn't realize it was such a big project.

I wonder if GT5 Prologue sales covered the $80 million.

It shipped 4.65 million, let's assume 1 million was in bundles, and a revenue of $25 per copy (given it costs $40)

3.65*25 = $91.25 million.

If you vary the revenue slice, it changes a bit, but let's just say that if it didn't cover it fully, it covered the budget for the most part

Wow that's a great deal for Sony/Polyphony. Sucks everyone who bought this game for $40 and will then have to spend $70 on the full game though.

Where does the 70$ come from? Games only cost 60$?
