Wait... weren't their tons of articles saying they made 500 mill in one day? Wtf... And I wonder what the net profit is too

Activision did make $500 million, through sales to retailers (and digital downloads) who have now made back $325 million selling to their customers.

so 325 million is profit then?

$325 million revenue.

Less than $200 million would go to Activision due to retailers and platform holders taking their cuts.

So if we assume the budget plus marketing for Destiny is $250 million, then the game would still be in red.
