6m sold, and barely profitable... How could this game cost so much?! I'm really enjoying it so far, but that's one expansive game, that is!

Those 6 million copies include the 1 million + copies they gave away for free in the recent 360 holiday bundle plus a lot of the other copies where probably bought at deep discount prices that is the reason its barely profitable. 

I think you missed the point. The developments costs were out of control.

With that said, 3rd parties get revenue from the manufacturer if their game is bundled. They dont give it away out of kindness for the other company. xD

Sure but they make the most profit if its sold at full retail price and most of Tomb Raiders units where sold below that mark.
