Obviously Capcom needs to allow the retailers to turn a profit on the game and Microsoft won't allow you to make a game on their system without them charging you a disc fee. Microsoft may have wavered the fee (though very doubtful). So in the end, 750k copies would not have made Capcom back it's money but it most definitely made a profit at 1.37 million copies sold. |
Well, that's the number Capcom gave so I'll go with that. They have no reason to lie about it. They know better than anyone exactly how much the game cost to make.
Anyway, it doesn't really matter. Wtih almost double that sold, they definitely made money.
