while 80 million certainly is A LOT. MGSV will make those back in just a few hours of sales and will easily be profitable day one.

You expect 5 million sales day one? While I think MGSV can be profitable even with this budget, I don't think day one.

It would be about 3 million to break even (this is if the cost is only 80 million, which it isn't).

That would be $30 per copy sold, which is high. I assume more along the lines of $20. Still, 5 million was a bit high, 4 million is more like it. Either way, 3, 4 or 5 million, not happening day 1.

I actually used $27, which is from a breakdown I saw long time ago.
