They got 4.2 million preorders and you have to spend a minimum of 5 dollars to preorder so...

4200000 times 5 = 21 million

so they made up the cost of the game not counting advertizing...i believe somewhere they said it cost 20 million to make this

well considering that most pre orders dont cost money (amazon) i doubt it. Also the 5$ pre order just goes back to whomever you preorder it from not IW
