It didn't return 100m...it returned "over 100m", which could mean anything from 101m-149m as far as I'm concerned

But yes, they spent 40m and managed to profit more than 60m. This is one of those games that, according to some people, Sony shouldn't be making

but it's only revenue not money sony got, that should be pretty clear. they never made so much profit with that and neither will another company.

I know, I said it profited more than 60m and not 100m. It did "return" over 100m though, after the 40m was spent.

60m profit is 60m profit. Didn't Tomb Raider even lose money for Square Enix? 

but it probably didn't profit 60m and even if, not only for sony since sony doesn't get the whole money of every sold copy. and if you use the whole revenue you also have to take the expenses of retailers and so on in account and not only development + marketing. if a retailer made 15 bucks per sold copy he didn't make 15 bucks profit, otherwise every retailer would be damn rich.

sony made maybe 20m euro profit with the highly reduced price of the units they sold the years after release.
