So Angry Birds makes $70 million world wide and pundits are talking about how social gaming is going to kill off console games?

 

Not according to this list it isn't.


It cost $140k to make, so that is one hell of a profit margin.

i would rather invest 100mil and make 200mil, then invest 20$ and make 70mil. Sure being cheap is nice as it won't be a big deal if its not successful, but its the total profit thats most important, not the profit margin.  

You can't spend what you don't have and it's a lot easier to borrow $140k than $100 million. Not that many developers can get that kind of money, and they have to give up a lot to get that money.

Would you rather spend $140k of your own money, keep all the profits and have total creative control. Or would you rather borrow $100 million, not own the IP you created and have to fork over most of the profits to the investors?

im sure hes saying he would rather make a high budget console or pc game then a low budget iphone game because theres just more meat to the whole game in geberal. come on you know what he meant. Also i would rather own my 100 million dollar game if done right you can own your ip even if you borrowed money well not 100 million lol.
