I edited this before your post went through down to $40, plus costs of packaging and shipping bringing it to $35. After I hit submit I did think I overshot the amount they'd make by a bit.
I also don't know why you'd think half a million is too little. Platinum games is a small company so won't have too many people behind it developing it. Development costs are nothing than salaries plus the cost of the products they're using for the game. There are better looking indie titles that are developed for far less.
