So much got gt6 being a flop lol, will have strong legs.

And probably have already proffited.


Indeed. The production cost of GT5 were largely covered by the prologue that they did release. And seeing that it sold around 5m copies. I think the average price was around 20 dollars so they probably paid everything with that money. Then with the release of GT5 it was probably a lot of profit and the development of GT6 was probably much cheaper and the costs were covered. So a flop.... no but it could have been better. Still if it manages 6m lifetime it will still be very good.

COuld have made more, sure... but by Prologe selling 5M I would dare say it alone covered the costs of the whole GT5P GT5 and GT6... So right now we have 13M sold for profit, possibly getting close to 16M+.
