Licensing costs are set in stone like that?

I doubt GTA will drop in a month, but even if it did Pokemon is already selling for $20 less. The majority of Pokemon copies will be sold at a lower price than the majority of GTA copies being sold. Not to mention the fact that Pokemon will sell far less copies overall. In terms of software revenue alone, Pokemon will take a pretty distant third. Merchandise could very well put it ahead though. |
i never see pokemon lower their price after a few months.... except for pre owned ones of course...

Obviously. I was asking where that precise range he gave was coming from.

When did I say anything about Pokemon lowering its price after a few months?

Pokemon will only be a few million behind by the end.
Nintendo games as you should know, tend to stay full price the entire life.
Pokemon is a Nintendo game, on a Nintendo system. THey will get a much larger cut per sale than GTA will. so the $20 price difference isn't as large or might even be tied by the time you consider what % the company actually gets.
So by lifes end, PROFIT from sales, not revenue, might actually be very tight.
But then as you and everyone else knows. Merchandise will be just a joke. Pokemon will sell probably more in merchandise and other sources of money from cartoons to movies, cards and so on that they might beat GTA on just that alone.

how many copies does gta 5 needed to break even? |
never was confirmed, any number you might get is from guestimation we don't even know for sure how much of the 60$ Rockstar get from each sale. My guess is 7-8 million if they get between 25-30$ per games
Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.

Assuming this is right.

So you think X/Y will sell as well as the originals? Because otherwise they will be a lot more than a few million behind.
Huge blockbusters like GTA/COD stay full price for a very long time as well. Easily the vast majority of their sales will be at full price so that's hardly an advantage for Pokemon.
Unless we have specific licensing fees for the other 2, this is just speculation.
It might. But it probably won't be.
Merchandise will be big certainly, but beating GTA on that alone? You must be joking.
