| Boutros said: 1 million would have been a lot for a game like The Conduit which surely didn't have as big of a budget as many other games. So success is definitely about $.
Also, "FF13, which has now sold over 5 million WW, has only just started to turn a profit, due to extrememly high marketing and development costs..." 1. FFXIII has sold 6.23 million so far. 2. No one knows FFXIII's development cost so... 3. Extremely high marketing? I've never even seen an ad for the game where I live whereas I see plenty for far smaller games. |
...really? I must have saw at least, AT LEAST 10-15 adverts for it a week for the month before its launch
Also, it's rumoured that the high development costs meant that the game would have to sell north of 5 million to break even, something which I think wasn't clear enough in the OP. Which is now updated
