AAA games refer to budgets. Though I'm not sure what the threshold
It makes sense that expensive games need to move a decent amount of copies to warrant a sequal.

If they make 30$ on each copy. That means it needs to net Capcom ~60 million.

I'd assume AAA budget means atleast 20 million today + advertising costs + (you need it to make some net profit, breaking even is not a success).


Just an informal FYI, it is believed by various sales analysts that physical games make around 1/4 of their sale price back to the publisher. So it would be $40 million if Capcom is talking about 2 million launch sales.



Getting an XBOX One for me is like being in a bad relationship but staying together because we have kids. XBone we have 20000+ achievement points, 2+ years of XBL Gold and 20000+ MS points. I think its best we stay together if only for the MS points.

Nintendo Treehouse is what happens when a publisher is confident and proud of its games and doesn't need to show CGI lies for five minutes.
