Its virtually impossible to tell unless youre Take 2s accounting... retailers may take a small %, but we don't know how much of this 800 million was retail and how much was digital. We also don't know what kind of rewards/bonuses Rockstar is entiteled to which Take 2 will have to fork out. Keep in mind they have to pay for development, marketing, production of disks and cases, shipping...so this isn't just free money for Take 2. they should profit on this nicely though. |
R* is part of Take 2, so take2 and R* get the same amount kind of... Given that it is only on PS3 and 360 and not avaliable for download on 360, you would imagine the vast majority of that would be from physical copies. So you would guess that they guess around half back, so given that the rumours for the total costs were $250m ish, then they have probably made $150m on the first day, which does seem absurd
