Tomb raider broke even with an estimated budget of 100 million with 6 million sales. (15-16 $ per game)

At least half the cost of the game goes to distribution, and console manufacturers take their part too.

I don't know what happened with TR (that budget probably doesn't include marketing), but this is the standard breakdown:


Publisher part will be cut by maintenance cost for the servers and community management

Sure, but that's not gonna require an extra 14m copies worth of profits.



No troll is too much for me to handle. I rehabilitate trolls, I train people. I am the Troll Whisperer.

Destiny on Xbone is doing great Good to see it not that far behind the PS4 version. 360 version doing solid also.

Hmmm, I'd say it's a pretty good ways behind (depending on the accuracy and the sure fire elimination of the Bundles). I'm thinking it will be a lop-sided launch.

I wouldn't consider approximately 100k that big of a difference, but obviously with the bundle and factoring in Europe's numbers Destiny on PS4 is bound to blow out the Xbox version.

$19 extra on that graph won't go to retail/media for DD versions sold. I expect a lot will sell at retail but still millions digitally as well, boosting margins further.

funny that Persona Q gets more preorders than smash bros

Also since the details of the exclusive content and beta period had been released the number of preorders per week for ps4 has grown to routinely double those on the Xb1, meaning the gap will continue to grow even in the US.

Destiny on PS4 looking great! Also, good to see they finally added CoD for PS4. It looked kinda weird for the top selling console in NA to not have CoD in the list anywheres like the last 2-3 weeks.

I'm sure once Xbox players get a taste of Destiny we'll see a nice big boost for the Xbone version.
