So how much did this monster of a game cost? Seems like it would be on a big hollywood level of at least 100 million. So if that is the case, what does it need to even break even? 3 million in sales? I do not know what the percentage a company makes off each game, but movie companies make about 55 percent of what a film does at the theater.

Uncharted 2 costed about 20 Million dollars to make.

So i dont think uncharted 3s budget will be much higher

There we all have it! 20-30 million should be it. Easy to make a profit off of that!

 

@prodigybam....My wii games thread was no joke...:)

Uncharted 1 costed 40-50 Million dollars but most of it was because of the newly created engine, but since they used it for UC2 and UC3 the production costs arent as high. And I think for profiting from a game that costed 25-30 Million dollars to make and a lets say 40 Million dollar marketing campaign to push it, they "only" need to sell 1,5-2 Million copies at 60$ (its 65€ in many places in europe including germany where I live) as Sony is the console manufacter and publisher. ;)
