While the sales number make it obvious that GT5 has been a great success to Sony in the budget side, you can't forget the advertisement costs, which are never included in the budget of the game. I'm sure that at least there is another 60 million budget for ads, so this game prints money, but a bit less than what osamanobama said.

so with advertisements my high end projection is likely on the money(with the exception of the 50m per yr. thing lol which i new was wrong)

lighten up people.

i can assure you the advertising campaign was no where near 60 million.

it would be half that at max.

i cant remember exact numbers but Uncharted 3 is reported to have sony biggest marketing push ever. and the cost of the campaign was WAYYY southward of 30 million.

i bet with dev cost and advert cost, and what ever, it was no more than $80 million
