And even if it scores well and sells 1.5 million, it can't be a financial success given it's troubled developement. It's a pitty, because I really think it will be a masterpiece, but reviewers will probably focus more on irrelevant things like dated graphics, sligthly awkward controls and frame-rate drops than the unique atmosphere, great puzzles, gripping story and the emotional experience the game will give you. It will probably be the last time we will see a game like this again. Pessimistic, I know. On the bright sight, a couple of years ago, I didn't expect this game to ever release, but now it finaly comes. |
If the game sells 1.5M, Sony would be making ~$60M off of sales. Even with the long development time on this, I highly doubt Sony put $60M of investment into the project. Team ICO is a very small team.
