And no that is very doubtful when these games triple the sales.

No, profit > sales.

 Average sales for HD twins is around 4m on X360/PS3.  Both above 2m  And these games dont cost a lot to make.

on the Wii 600k.  Do you have any idea how foolish you sound?

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.

 

You may want to search development on the specific titles of each game.  20m is pretty much AAA games.  Madden games as ive said before are not that expensive beyond licensing.

Actually $20 million is consider cheap nowadays. You have games like The Old Republic which costed $200 million and Rockstars games which are usually more than $100 million. You obviously didn't clicked the links because you have a lot of examples of various tittles and genres.

But anyway, doesn't matter how much Madden or FIFA dev cost are, you still have to pay for those licenses, and that money needs to be recover from the sales of the game. In the end Madden and FIFA games might be more expensive than The Old Republic. Or you could use CoD as an example, each year the game only sees minor upgrades and that still cost betwwen $40 and $50 million to make.
