O_o i bet SONY are pleased with the sales. I wonder what Heavy Rain needs/ needed to sell to break even? 750k? 1million?

I'm guessing they need to make around $50 million to turn a profit, so about 750-800K should do it. 1 million will mean they've got a bit of seed money to make their next game. 1.5 million means they'll pretty much be able to fully fund the next game.

uhm, didn't polyphony digital state 60 million for their GT5 (which has been in the making forever)? If that's the case, why would this be 50 million?

HR was announced at E3 2006, so it has been in the making for about 4 years (at least) the difference in price if you figure Polyphony @ 60 mil for 5 years = 12 mil per year.

Quantic may have a smaller staff than Polyphony (I'd almost guarantee it) so maybe that is why the game was 2 mill per year cheaper than GT5?
