Ah, poor Kber, you just don't get it. Even if Ubisoft only made $20 off of every copy sold of Red Steel that's well over $20,000,000 and a $5,000,000 gain on their investment.

Once again do some research before you post. Ubi makes around 7$ on each copy IIRC.

Gears of War for example cost less than 10 million USD (Unreal Engine). Be awere multiplatform games cost only around 10% more than single platform.

13 million USD is peanuts compared to the million sellers on PS3/X360.

Eh I don't know. Assassains Creed and CoD4 definitly cost way more then Red Steel. (Probably in advertising alone.)

But Fifa and Pro Evo are basically cash ins from what i've read that basically work on the "Madden" effect... of just having updated engines, and are pretty half assed.

As such the 4 million seller PS3 games likely raked in all sorts of cash. Or at least all of them that arn't AC.

Where they should worry is the games that haven't sold a million bost likely cost lots of developmental money.

Those were all 1st Party games though.


 OK, I'll say most of the million sellers. 13 million is not that much for a "big-budget" game nowadays. As just a small reference, I read that Scarface had a budget of 2.5M just for audio.

Link?

And if that's true, why are they making a sequel?

Also, is Gears of War the standard or just an example? How about a PS3 game.

That's half.

Sony has no worries about not getting good games. There only worry is not getting any good 3rd party exclusives anymore, as for some reason multiplatforms have seemed to sell better then single platform games.

But luckily Sony has some good development teams themselves and arn't above bribary... atleast until they catch up to the 360.

I assume you are too gimpy to find by yourself. All your posts here are pure crap. I've pointed flaws in your deduction already. It isn't funny anymore. Go back to your happy N-world and wait for RE5.
