No kidding. 500k at $15-$20 to the publisher per copy? That's $7.5 - $10 million in revenue. I know it didn't cost that much to port.

Actually, the game retails for 60,- so that means around 25,- per copy directly to the publisher.

Reflex retails for $60?!???! WTH?

The game retails for $50. Wii games don't retail over $50 unless they include some sort of pack-in accessory.

Its a great game and it makes me pissed that all these damn developers complain that core 3rd party game dont sell. Stop making spinoff games, ports of older games, stop with the stupid tests. Make some good AAA games and they will see that the market is there, just make the games good.

Isn't Modern Warfare:Reflex a port?

I can't believe how well this game is selling, I still need to go get this

Not sure if you live somewhere outside the US, or if you are confusing this with MW2.

A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

In Europe, the game goes for €60. I assumed it would be the same in the US, my apologies.

Hey, those do often match, so I can see the misunderstanding.

it's pretty expensive, especially for a port, but the game has a big name and belongs to a big franchise, another reason for it to be getting those numbers, although the price tag can't be helping.
