GT5's budget was for everything $60 million.
GT5:P sold: 5.33 million copies
GT5 sold: 7.3 million copies.
thats 12.63 million in total.

now since GT5p retailed for $40, i will assume Sony/Polyphony got around $20 per copy sold.
so $20 x 5.33 million = $110 million
so they profited on GT5p just by its self, by $50 million
now you add the 7.3 million GT5, we will assume Sony/PD made $35 per copy.
so $35 x 7.3 = $255 million
so in total they have made around $365 million from this game in revenue

then they also have sold over 1 million DLC's

so i will say 1.5 million x $7 = $10.5 million

so around $380 million

this game is extremely extremely profitable!

love the estimate, but i'd like to think Sony took in more then just $35 per copy, but that's very logical. thanks bud.

Did you not check out the link that I sent you from what Yo_John wrote on Man-bear-pigs thread? It shows what companies make back in a nice graph.

nope i got like 10 threads to check on. well i had 10, but the one i thought would be the most popular amongst Sony and MS saw an easrly death. that's why i hate posting on the wk.ends

Weekends and nights are the worst! But this one seems to be doing fine!

yea i meant to sat i hate making threads on the wk. ends, but yea this wk end is awesome
