Thanks for the breakdown, Borkachev. That leads me to believe that perhaps the EU model 60GB without the EE chip might have been on the brink of breaking even. | ssj12 said: well take the 15 or so exclusive PS3 games and idk .. 5 PS2 games from Sony coming out this fiscal year. PS3 games cost like 20m to make now (according to devs I've talked to). 15 x 20m = 300m
PS2 game probably large games cost 2m (maybe idk the average price anymore) 5 x 2m = 10m Plus you have to put in R&D costs for the cutting down of the PS3 size. Maybe 40m R&D for PS Eye Maybe 10m 360m total from above. 310m from games. So... even if its not all from games. its mostly from it. |
Are we to assume that these games will make no money? Then, and only then, will I believe they lost 400 million developing games. |
how could they make money on games that havent been released? |
How could they have spent the entire budget of a game if a game hadn't been released? If the games you're referring to haven't been released yet, or in fact aren't close to release, then they haven't spent 20 million+ yet, and those wouldn't be fully factored in to a budget.
You can't have it both ways. Either they spent 20 million dollars to develop, market, and publish a title, or they are still developing a title, and haven't come close to your 20 million mark yet.
