242k would cover KZ2's cost as much as 180k would cover Conduits in this situation.

I knew this game was gonna tank. People on this site said the game was gonna sells millions. Its good to be optimistic, but that was crazy talk.

What makes you so positive that it "tanked"?

And, you speak as if you enjoy taunting it's sales....

It was a big budget (for wii) game with a very big advertising campaign. It only sold 72k.

 

It tanked.

For reference, TheSource posted the usual sales of a game to begin making a profit:

Wii: 180k

Xbox 360: 204k

PS3: 242k

Could you find a link for that?  Just seems like weird numbers considering what most assume about the comparison of budgets for Wii and HD games.

I suspect they are wrong when you're talking about an individual case, but they may be right when talking about say an average of 5-10 poor selling games taken together.



Tease.

I can confirm these (or at least similar) numbers. The Source indeed posted them (or similar numbers) in a thread.

Out of interest what was that budget?

I can imagine that a small development company funding itself must have had millions to spend on it.

 

I'm with Zucas on this one. People say things based on no evidence whatsoever, just hearsay and speculation.

Still, at least nonames threads still rule.

 



Yes.

FUCK YEAH! I FOUND THEM! I feel so accomplished

Normal PS3/360 titles are supposed to cost $5,000,000 to $10,000,000 to make with top titles costing $20,000,000 to $30,000,000.

Supposedly after all the costs are factored in to consideration, the game maker gets $31 for a PS3 title, while a game maker gets $38 for a 360 title.

Most Wii games are supposed to cost $2,000,000 to $5,000,000 to make by comparison. PSP is probably $1,500,000 to $3,500,000, DS is maybe $800,000 to $2,000,000.

Essentially you can be profitable at the following thresholds with an average game, but it varies alot:

DS - 100k

PSP - 125k

Wii - 165k

360 - 200k

PS3 - 242k

And yet I still can't get people to agree that Valkyria Chronicles made money for Sega.  Sigh.

Thank you for finding it for me <3
