Thats awesome to hear about Persona but like i said, in Niohs case, if that game cost around the average production budget of videogames then selling a little over a million isnt going to cover the likely 80+ million put into it. I could be completely wrong with how much the average game cost or with how much i assume Nioh cost. Like i said, i remember reading about the average prod budget of videogames on some site a few years back and can only assume its gone up

Leg me stop you there. Ratchet and Clank on PS4 had a budget of 35 million for both the movie and the game. Blockbustre titles cosy insane amounts of money due to time, marketing and much more marketing. I estimate budget if ni-oh at 15-20 million. And I am probably on the high side with that.

Wow, didnt know that about Ratchet, the new one is such an awesome game too. After reading all your responses, im finding out how off i was on just development costs, i am much more relieved now that my favorite game devs arent going to be sleeping in a cardboard box anytime soon.
