What a strange way of looking at things.  GT5P was a part of the GT5 development, they released GT5P to help keep money rolling in (they new GT fans would pay for a demo you see) to fund its development costs, that doesnt mean it had no development costs.

You may aswell say Halo had no development costs becasue it made them all back within the first 12 hours.  Its a whole new level of spinning sillyness.

What can I say? Prologue covered the GT5 dev costs... it did near $200 million revenue... the GT5 dev costs was $60 million for the five years.

And now a little maths without official PR...

T5 2010 sales: 5,264,164 x $50 = $263 million
GT5 2011 sales: 1,785,728 x $30 = $53 million
GT5 2012 sales: 1,188,573 x $10 = $12 miliion

Total revenue:  $328 millionG

REMEMBER I USED THE LOWEST PRICE POSSIBLE FOR THE YEAR!!! NO LIMITED OR SPECIAL EDITION!!! NO DLC SALES!!!

If I use the real price the number will be near $500 million in revenue... with the dev costs covered by Prologue... how much profit GT5 give to Sony???

GT5 2010 sales: 5,264,164 x $50 = $263 million
GT5 2011 sales: 1,785,728 x $30 = $53 million
GT5 2012 sales: 1,188,573 x $10 = $12 miliion

Total revenue:  $328 million

That is much less than the actual profit...600 million looks much more realistic considering all the special editions. GT5 is also undertracked on this site by slightly under 1 million
