Average sales for HD twins is around 4m on X360/PS3. Both above 2m And these games dont cost a lot to make. |
Let's see this scenario. A 360 and PS3 game cost on average $20 million, you sell aprox 1 million copies at $60, making a revenue of $27 million and profit of $7 million. Based on this, the publisher recovers $27 per game.
Wii games cost on average cost $5 million (sorry I couldn't add the specific line, just search for "Nintendo Wii titles cost" and you will find it) to make. Given that Wii games cost $50 lest say the publisher recovers $25 instead of $27 (given that the extra $10 are shared equally between all categories in the anatomy of a game sale) you sell aprox. 600k copies, making a revenue of $15 million and a profit of $10 million.
You are actually making more profit out of the Wii game.
Granted this is an hypothetical scenario and doesn't apply to games like CoD, but you get the idea.
