Optimistically assuming that Konami is going to get $30 per copy sold (early on at least) you're looking at a requirement to sell nearly 3 million copies to make a single dollar off the game (2.66 million at that revenue-per-game). Then there is the marketing budget, which itself could easily be a few tens of millions of dollers. Meaning it will have to sell maybe 4.5- 5 million copies at full price prior to making a dollar's profit (letalone be a good investment return on upwards of $100 million). It may well make a profit. It may well make a profit sufficient to call it 'worth it.' It is unlikely to make a profit day one. |
Exactly.
and let's wait for the reviews at least before calling the game a commercial hit.
