Why is that hard to believe ?
After all, it's just Versus rebranded and moved to another platform.

But it won't be, that's the thing.
And with the estimated cost of the production of the game (>$100 million) you'd need to sell around 20 million copies to break even, at the very minimum. The PS4 will likely not have a 20 million install base when the game releases (Late 2014?) so making it PS4 exclusive makes no sense from a business perspective at the very least.

SE gets $5 per game? lol yeah right. Most people throw $30 dollars figure around for a $60 game... yet KH just launched at over $70 and Far Cry is selling at over $80. Also, ps4 will be more DD centric cutting out retailers and a bunch of costs associated with hard copies.

My apologies, my maths was off.
So people are throwing $150 million, which is probably right. The game is $70, so SE gets $30 per game roughly. That's still 5 million needed and that's a lot on a system with no install base, but even then $30 is probably too high if FFXIII failed to make money.

How is it probably right? Because unreliable random people on a forum said so? I doubt the game cost anywhere near that especially since SE delayed versus development to focus on FF13-2 and FF13-LR. Versus hasn't been in development that long even though it may seem like it (Just like GT5 because they shifted focus for GT:PSP at one point before going back to GT5)
