ZombiU Was "Not Even Close" to Profitable, No Plans for a Sequel

VGC has still missing European sales for early 7th gen consoles.
Red Steel was over 1m (I think 1.1m or 1.2m) before ioi accidentally removed the European sales.

Profitability becomes skewed as most of those sales came from when the game was in the bargain bin. Publishers can make a lot off a $50-60 game. Not so much for the $5-15 clearance sale.

Oh certainly, but Red Steel without Europe did about as well as ZombiU WW. So Red Steel was certainly selling faster and thus also more profitable.
