If they sell 10m copies Konami will make over $250m.  They get roughly $27 cut from each game sold, they will easily turn profit.

The $27 per unit sold is only when it is sold at full retail price. We know that as the price of the game declines over time, the profit also diminishes. If it sells 10 million units at full RRP I will eat my hat lol. I'm just trying to see things from the other side of the coin.

True but they only need to sell 3m at full price to make 80m, which should happen.  They won't have any trouble turning a profit on this game.
