no, prologue has already made polyphony and sony tons of profit.
GT5 budget was $60 million. and GT5p sold 5.1 million so even if they only profited $11.77 per GT5p sold they still profited.
but most likely they made aroun $25 per game (its also 1st party so they are no royalty fees or other charges, so they kept a lot of the money) which would mean they had revenue of about $127,500,000, so profit of about $67,500,000
they have been profited like crazy off GT5 and Gt5p.
and when you include GT5 they have sold 6.4 million (to retailers) so thats likely around $40 per game, which would then mean they brought in profit of $256,000,000.
so in all thats around $323,500,000 of profit
edit: this is exactly how much each game has sold, but i dont feel like re-doing the math b/c my numbers were pretty close
