But who really knows how much was spent on developing GT5? I bet they started working on it after the release of 4. Its not like they do anything else.

Money put into development aside, they are likely gonna spend a good amount on advertising.


GT PSP.

While developing GT they popped out another GT?

Exactly my point. They do nothing else but GT.

What you said was they most definitly went and started developing GT5 right after GT4 because they aint got nothing else but GT5 to work on......ohh well misunderstood you I guess.

Here you are...

http://www.polyphony.co.jp/english/list.html

GT5P = 4950 world wide

basically 5m  total sales which is huge for a "Demo".

Well that "demo" is all fans have had for about 3 years. Also, never have I played a "demo" that offered so much content.

If it was a demo, it would be Call GT5 Demo.

thats how a lot of ppl  refer to GT5P....a demo.

Which will say something for the end product, won't it?

sure?..........

*scratch head*



It will probably make a profit within the first week of being on sale, if you count in GT5P profits.

GT5p had a lot off content.

71 cars, 6 tracks, online.

Cant call it demo if comparing to other games,

but if u compare it to GT5's (1000 cars, 70 variations of tracks in 20 locations, NASCAR, damage, go-carts and only Yamauchi knows what else) it does look like demo.



it has easily been covered

They developed Tourist Trophy after GT4. Polyphony Digital didn't start development on GT5 until late 2006. 

PD would get about $15 for every GT5:P sold. 5,000,000 x $15 = $75,000,000. They are already in profit for GT5 before its even released. Every copy of GT5 sold is pure profit for PD.



Prologue should have already resulted in a profit unless they are lying about the $60 Million figure



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

They probably did not make a profit for all of GT5's costs. But Prologue probably financed the first 3 years or so of dev. with all the money earned.
