| Scoobes said: When they say it was disappointing with "only" 5M sales, I don't think that means it didn't make a profit. These games don't exist in a bubble and I think that some of their larger franchises (like RE6) are expected to pick up the slack of the losses they've incurred building less successful titles. I think the same is likely true of Tomb Raider, and Square-Enix; they expected the profit from the game to help cover the losses of their MMO development. |
That's probably the best explanation.
Also there's the fact that development now takes more time than before so they can't launch as many games each year as they did before. That means that each game has to make them win more money than before to get the same results.
Please excuse my bad English.
