I meant the ridiculously high budget...

If you think this game cost $80 million, you're an idiot, sorry.

But it still looks like it will struggle to break even.

10 years of development means a lot of money spent on wages.

Don't believe everything some random dude on the internet tells you.

Fact of the matter is... Too Human was the product of negative hype. Started with showing off the game way too early. Not to mention even telling about the game so many years ago. For developer's it's like an automatic coffin for anything. Silicon Knights fucked that up. They gave it this long delays... showed it off only to get into trouble wiht an engine and going into legal trouble. Also had to rework it considering it was said to be terrible at first. I mean this is what killed the title. And when you get too much negative hype behind a game... especially if its a core game.. it's not going to end pretty. It's what happened to Haze.

Hopefully Silicon Knights will better manage their next title so that it'll see larger success.

As for the rest of the charts not bad Madden sales but can't help but think that it's been better in the past. Rest of the sales seem to be steady for the titles staying steady. Will be an interesting week next week with Tiger, Sluggers, and Vesperia. Tiger on Wii should be really interesting considering the mainstream success of the last title and that good reviews for this one to draw in the core. Could open larger than usual. Sluggers should open to a decent 100k-150k and probably build off legs til the holidays. Vesperia is a hit or miss considering Symphonia has been the only successful Tales title I know of in America.

id be interested in seeing what the actual cost is....but when you consider how long this thing been in development....built, rebuilt on different systems....the staff salaries alone dedicated to this game has to be enormous let alone the actual production.

How am i the first person to comment on the 40k difference between PS3 and 360 Madden. Im astonished its so close....very good for Sony considering install base and console price, imo.....not to mention the notorious way 360 owners gobble up games. Very impressive, imo.

That is good news. 80 million would kill any developer the size of SK. Do you have any links to real costs? If they break even it would be all good in the end. I don`t want any more casualties among small-medium sized developers.

The game's success will be in how good its legs are.

Personally I think the 135 K number seems low but it is what it is...

I have a feeling this will be off from the real number and ioi will not change it because of strange reasons.
