Bungie says it's not 500 millions, while activision CEO says it's 500 millions.

I'll trust the guys that actually invested in the game and manage the marketing part.

Why do you think they only get $16 per game, anyway? It should be closer to $30. So that's about 15m to break even, if the $500m budget is true.

Tomb raider broke even with an estimated budget of 100 million with 6 million sales. (15-16 $ per game)

At least half the cost of the game goes to distribution, and console manufacturers take their part too.
