$15 but it had a few sales, albeit it also has a PC version these sales don't mention.
That's about $7.5m of revenue, say Ubisoft see $6m of that after you take out royalties.
No idea of dev costs but typical downloadable games cost $1m, very few are more then that and they can go a lot lower. It had a big marketing budget for a digital game but it's still made Ubi a lot of money. As the article says when you throw in Outland, Heroes of Might and Magic etc UBi have done amazingly well off of PSN and XBLA now. The markets seem to be maturing.
