Nice numbers, but this figure is off.
In many countries, there is also a distributor involved. They can typically make about the same money (50%-100%) as a retailer would. There are also freighting & other overheads.
For a $50US (was it a $60 title, or $50?) title, I would expect the publisher to make around $20-$25 per unit (take out manufacturing, freighting, printing, distibution costs - and roll in the price that retailers purchase at, at around $37US).
Marketing might have cost $20m, but development would have been cheaper than that (take into account joint technology development, etc...).
