This is from the Daily Mail... not a respectable newspaper. I wouldn't trust this at all until I get some confirmation from other sources, even the Times, a more respectable newspaper, stated this weekend that FIFA 10 had sold 4.7m copies (EA said 10m).

So don't trust the Daily Mail, or any other newspapers, if you did you wouldn't be eating anything for fear of cancer

wahahahaha!

Didn't they say banana's can give you cancer too? & Haribo's!!

They only say things like that when some crazy scientists prove/disprove something. I still don't believe what they have been saying on smoking, sounds dramatised!

GT5 has cost 60 Million, this has cost 40 Million more? Rightt...

well i thank rockstar for making such a great game. i hope the game gets a sequal, it might be the next big franchise.

Its already a franchise the game is a spin-off of Red Dead Revolver.

then theres hope for a sequal. many people consider this as a new ip, come on how many people still remember read dead revolver? 1000?

I'm pretty sure over 1000 people remember Read Dead Revolver its a good game the soundtrack alone is good enough to be remebered for a lifetime.

never said the game was bad, all i'm saying is that the game yet isn't istablished as a franchise, capcom made read dead revolver, rockstar bough it and polished it.

anyway the game is getting great, getting it on friday and i can't wait.

Being in 3rd place never felt so good

They did more then just polished it they totally revamped it under Capcom the game would have been a cross between RE and DMC set in the West. Also the soundtrack is totally Rockstar because Capcom never uses pre-existing music in their games.

Goodness...I'll buy a copy for the PS3 and Xbox 360 to help out. Ok seriously, I don't have that kind of money, but when I do I will buy the PS3 version.

I think thats bs, because even if it did cost them a 100 mil, if u take that and divide it by 60 (the cost of the game), it ends up being 1.6 million. So i think thats how much it REALLY is.

The game was in developement for ~6 years.

Developers don't even get half of the $60 per game, so it's more like $100m/$27 = 3.7 million sales at full price to break even.
