So far as i know, they both barely topped 1 million which isnt enough to pay for the average production cost this gen which i heard was between 80-120 million.

Besides that my question still stands being that there were lots of great games that didnt sell enough and some even died because of that such as Kingdoms of Amalur.

You probably heard wrong. Even if you're excluding indies which come nowhere near that kind of budget there are still plenty of games produced with lower budgets than that. Maybe that's the average budget for AAA 10m+ selling games... but not all games have that kind of budget or need those kinds of sales.

Yea, im hoping thats it. I think ive started freaking out more cause PS4 is getting all these great games and i know full well they dont sell close to other high profile games and excluding team size, i find it hard to believe that these games that play better and look just as well cost sooo much cheaper to make. I wasnt including indies in my calculations mind you.
