Source is in Japanise so use your favourite translator ;)

But holy shit do they have any bussiness sense at all to spent this kind of cash on game that will strugle tor each 1 milion sales ?

I can't read Japanese but I can tell you right now it didn't cost £75 million to develope...

No way did that game cost so much. It looked decent but the combat was boring.

So it's an exponentially bigger flop than Shenmue?

Sniff Sniff....I smell BS

Aren't these numbers little off?

IMO 10.2 bilions Yen (10.200.000.000) should be about 7.5 milions pounds (7.500.000).

At least my calculator says that.

1 0 2s

(One zero too many)

Try again, your calculator lies to you.

Go to http://www.oanda.com/currency/converter/ and type in 10200000000 JPY and have it converted to GBP. Based on today's rate that's 78.44 million GBP.

Or alternatively type "10200000000JPY in GBP" (without the quotes) into google.

I wonder how many hookers, white lines, foreign cars and gold bars per developer this number includes. :P

nah it said 75millions

7500万ポンド=75m pound

Exactly. The original source has it right.
