Sonic Boom was just to push the new cartoon. I doubt the game flopping mattered much since it was developed in a week on a $5 budget..

Your figures seem off.  Source?  Because the one I'm reading says that development took 34 months and budget was $20 million.

Hence why these sales are so disappointing.  Why it was given so much money is another question.  

Ahhh.... 20million+ development budget.

Throw in PR & Whatever costs there are to getting things box'ed and sitting on shelfs in stores.....

 

How far you guys think they are from recoupeing that investment? Halfways? closer?
