Insane but do keep in mind that it still isnt profitable.. 500 million isnt enough when considering the royalty fee for platform owners and the cut from retail (if applicable) reduces the 500 million to an actual income of around 350 assuming both parties take up around 10 dollars off the 60 msrp. Now do keep in mind that this is just a rough estimate but point is that isnt quite on break even territory yet. Still better than most people here expected.

Yeah...but you're not supposed to break even on a 10 year investment on Day 1, either.  That $500 million was for a 10 year contract, and 4 expansions (or something like that).

Already profitable and people said Activision don't expect to be profitable with just the first game



PS4 - over 100 millions let's say 120m
Xbox One - 70m
Wii U - 25m

Vita - 15m if it will not get Final Fantasy Kingdoms Heart and Monster Hunter 20m otherwise
3DS - 80m

Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:

 PS4: 17m   XB1: 10m    WiiU: 10m   Vita: 10m
