BB does this with the latest dvd release's every week they dont make money at $15.00 a movie its the other stuff you buy! and after the 1st week the movie goes back up to $20.00 usually! Sony's cut for licensing $8.00 I think MS is $10.00 and nintendo is $12-15 plus with the 360 proprietary licensing for ATI is almost $10.00 a game that may be the licensing fee though Iam not sure! I dont know if nvidia has the same deal or not! So the game was $10 retailer, licensing $8.00 sony and $ 10.00 to nvidia 10% ad cost $10.00 per game that would be around $38.00 leaving around $22.00 per game for the developer not counting money sony may have put in to it! oyu could say possibly $32.00 per gameif nvidia isnt there also Bluray is more expensive to produce then dvd! so developing cost could be $ 5.00 per game! dvd box and shipping ect ect. ya they need to sell alot more games to make money! Does anybody think thats why a lot of developers are waiting for more of an install base before releasing thier game????? on PS3 or even going multiplatform to recoup costs! |
That's weird. Considering every source other then you says that Sony has the highest liscensing cost... by quite a bit.
So... you are just making a lot of stuff up.
