pachter once said that ms and sony get about 12$ for every 60$ game that is sold and about 17$ more if they are publisher its episode 111 you can watch it on gametrailers the average number of games would be about 7 so that would mean sony gets about 84$ that come along with every console sold add psn sales, blu ray license fees blu ray sales and the money they make on controllers etc
it probably denpends on how expensive these new move controllers are to make I don't think they are epxensive so I could be that sony counts on move and the SW they sell along with it and them pushing the blu ray and 3d market |
patcher was just guessing stuff
Sony and Microsoft WITH $60 game have these reductions
$10 RETAILERS (it can be less if publishers doesn't give it cheap but mostly they come to an understanding that is why you see games discounted to $55 at launch)
$10 PLATFORM HOLDERS
$30 PUBLISHER AND DEVELOPERS.The share depends on their contract but Developers mostly get over $20.
$5 Shipping
$5 that can be adjusted in all of the above if more or less
