That can't make the CFO happy. If the average Namco game requires 500,000 units sold to break even, I'd assume that 800,00 or 1,000,000 copies of MGS4 would be a reasonable assumption for the break-even point. At this point, the odds of selling considerably more than 1,000,000 copies are slim. |
At this point Resistance has already done a million. By the time it hits 3 million will be a walk in the park. |
Indeed. The odds of it selling less than 1 million are so low, your comment is very laughable, Bodhesatva. |
I'm not suggesting that MGS is likely to lose money. I'm saying it's likely to make very little, and companies don't like three year developmental cycles that cost a ton of money and barely make back their developmental costs.
