Sony gets around $34 for every first party title they sell at $60:

Let's say they only sold 2 million copies at $60. That'd put them at ~$70 million in revenue not counting the other 300k and counting units they're shipping. Estimates peg the game as having a $40-50 million development budget (just shy of MGS4), which would imply the game has preformed quite nicely.

What if it had a $15-20 million marketing budget? Total expenses would then be ~65 million and profits only $5 million.

...assuming the game stopped selling at 2 million, yes.
And I don't know much about the marketing budget. I'd assumed it had been included in the 45 million figure, but I guess that's not very likely.
