@Maxwell: You know, Guitar Hero was a very bad example. There's the lack of real competition in the market and the previous games were sold at the same price with PS2 version, so there were lots of GH guitars in homes already.
I can't remember any other official take on royalties, other than Iwata stating that their royalties are 10$ for a normal game and 5$ for a budget-price game (if i recall). Other than that, the talk is that the royalties across all platforms are between 3 and 15$. And, that is commonly known, even years ago, that the royalties get usually negotiated if the game is big enough. That's when the third party publisher can have its say on the matter.
And yes, that's why the publishers are putting themselves down the drain.
