Square Enix - reported Yen6.5bn loss for HD Games driven by Marvel Avengers, would not say how many sold but that volumes were 60% of plan. Implies game cost over $100m to make but only sold 3m or so. Ouch

The loss seems to suggest that Marvel's Avengers had a budget of around $100m USD and only sold 3m copies so far.

So they lost like 63 million USD on this game (so far) ?
Microtransactions will probably overtime (along with more game sales) help reduce that.
