| Phalanx said: If the game was initially priced at $29.99 and the initial projections were 620K, then the price increase to $50 should change those projections because they are making more money off of it. Say they are making $17 now as opposed to $10 before. That certainly increases their revenue. Let's estimate that the first 100K sold at the lower price, so they made $1 million revenue. The remaining 450K have sold at the higher price, therefore making $7,650,000 in revenue for a total of $8,650,000. Based on initial projections (620K * $10) they were anticipating revenue of $6.2 million. Granted, these are just hypothetical numbers, but I would guess that it has already exceeded it's goals. |
It was never priced at $29.99. That's RE 4 for the wii price. RE:UC has always been $49.
If it was $29.99 I would probably have picked it up already. At $49 I probably will not as I am not into rail shooters... if it was more like RE4, then maybe I would.
Increasing price means decreasing sales. Which means more profit is a matter of supply and demand...
