So very roughly estimated that's a $5 mill loss. Not a huge loss, and not the big flop I initially thought it was. I think it might even get a sequel. |
Last time I spoke with owner of our largest vigeogame retailer, he told me that for now they only get 10 % from each PS 3 game they sold.
60€ x 10% = 6€ ...lets say that another 6€ goes for warehouse. Heavenly Sword belongs to Sony, so there is no other payments for Sony (licence fee)! So now we have 60€ - 12€. Don't forget the manufacture (mass production!) which is like 3€ (I am only guessing). So whole 45€/$ goes for Sony.
45 x 790,000 = 35,550,000€/$ (Heavenly Sword)
