If the rumoured development cost was indeed $60m, and GT5:P has sold just under 5m, let's say 5m, they'd need to make $12 per copy in order to reach that, now, it is my understanding that first party developers would get more than $12 per copy sold, more than $20 sold infact, and even if the cost was much higher at $100m, selling 5m copies at $20 would cover the cost. The only thing they've got left to pay for using their own money that hasn't come from the sales of GT5:P would be the advertising costs. |
it isn't rumoured
yamauchi himself has said it and its nowhere near $100m surely
