Heavenly Sword sold about 1.5m but devs didn't break even

that's really sad..

the game is 5 hours, and the budget was higher than MGS4s potentially.

Very sad

Eh, more than twice as many people worked on MGS4, and it was in development twice as long... pretty sure it's budget likely dwarfed Heavenly Sword's.

probably bad management 1.5 should be enough to break even

It looks like Ninja Theory's also including the scrapped 360 version in with their costs... seems kinda weird imo.
