4 million copies and $15 a piece = $60 million revenue

No it didnt make profit yet.

I estimate dev cost $80 million plus $40 million marketing. Total $120 mill.  Still $60 million more revenue is needed.

 you are fogeting that 1m downloads with full $40 have also been sold

plus ur estimate is wrong.Yamauchi himself has said the entire budget is $60m

marketing is another thing

even that will be covered in the first week itself

 1 million downloads. Doubt it. That would almost exceed the highest selling Xbox Live game which is Battlfield 2943 or something. And PSN aint that big on downloads so thats highly unlikely.

Plus I doubt it still costs $40 to download.

Plus the budget of GT5 is far more than $60 miill. It was $60 mill over a year ago. By release it'll be at least 80 mill if not $100 mill.
