KillZone 2's development costs. 40m. Release date: 2007

Uncharted Drakes Fortune dev cost. 20m release date: Nov. 2007

warhawk. dev cost 20m. release date. August 27th,2007.

Sure we dont know titles... we know a bunch of titles as well as the 13 un named titles still to be released by Sony. Its mostly all dev costs. Some marketing for the games closer to being finished but otherwise none.

Are we to believe that these games won't make ANY money before March 2008? That's the question. Unless each and every game doesn't make ONE PENNY, then you can say almost all the money is lost on game development. Otherwise, profitability is slipping through their fingers.

And, thanks for another breakdown, Just_Ben. If it costs them about 570 to make the 80, it's ONLY being sold in one place ... Korea. All the 60GBs and 20GBs being sold are at a loss, except maybe the 60GB in EU since they removed the EE and are charging a premium for the system.

 Well, that was just a "wild guess". But yes the 60 and 20 gigs are sold at a loss (the 60 gig at least at $499 - $599 im not sooo sure, the loss won't be that big at the end, i think). So much people sayed here otherwise? I don't think the 60 GB (At least with the same hardware like know) will not be sold for long. I think they just wan't to sell of the stock on hand.
