| Torillian said: how retarded do you have to be to think a game needs to sell a million on the first day to be a success. Do you think they have bill collectors chomping at the bit to get to them on the second day of sales? I just don't see the situation where that makes any sense. I mean if you can think of one lay it on me. |
I got that from a quote in a Reuters news article, which.. as has been pointed out in this thread.. was disavowed. Obviously, I don't have the figures to say when MGS4 will become profitable and did not say that I did. If it was a false quote, then it was a false quote.
We don't know how much was spent to develop this game and how much promotion is going to cost but the bar is obviously set very high for this release and it would have to have substantial sales in order to be profitable.
