If SE release this Ps4 exclusive in 2014 they could easily make their money back in Japan alone. $80 at launch + special edition + online downloads. They could easily get 80mil back in Japan first week with another 40mil 2nd week |
You seem to be ignoring the fact they still need to market the game, wich will be another $50-120m world wide (basic rule of thumb in the gaming industry is you spend at least as much marketing the game as you spend making it with big games like COD spending far more on marketing). Also Japan is increadibly front loaded Final Fantasy XIII went from 1,464,964 week one to 179,951 week 2 for example currently at 1,865,958 LTD, so you would be looking at a ~10m second week if they do 80m week one.
