Developers can make a PS3 game for around 1 million, nice to see numbers way of not that they are surprising.
They could make galaga for 1 million...maybe
You can find me on facebook as Markus Van Rijn, if you friend me just mention you're from VGchartz and who you are here.
| Sqrl said: TBH, it seems 13m is about the lower end of decent 360/PS3 games from what I have heard. With the high end probably being that 41m for KZ2. The lower end for Wii is probably 2-4m with a high end of around 10-12m, which is about where I suspect galaxy will wind up considering the sheer amount of time the game has been in development. They had a playable demo at E3 06 so its been in development probably around 2 to 2.5 years. |
You can count on the fact that Mario Galaxy has already been in early stages as early at the showing of the Gamecube in 2000/2001 (Mario 128 basic design etc would become the basic of Pikmin and further on Mario Galaxy)... However: Real development started i guess mid 2005 or something.
On-topic: You can bet on it that Mario Galaxy cost more then 15 mil btw... This is a game that HAS TO BE PERFECTED IN EVERY WAY TO ENSURE THE FRANCHISE REMAINS STRONG! Zelda and Metroid probable something close to that too!
And btw: 41 mil for Killzone?! Last time i checked that Dutch studio (I'm Dutch btw, was REALLY SMALL before Killzone)... Sony must have given em TONS OF CASH... But they are never gonna make a profit out of that! 41 mil equals?! +1 mil software sales. On a system that has an installed base around 1/6 of PS2's at the time it releases. (PS2 during Killzone 2 at 80 mil something... PS3 by end 2008... 15 mil something?!. Killzone 1 sold a little over 1 mil. Killzone 2 is NEVER gonna top that with lower Hardware sales...

If you are going to make a blanket statement declaring the entire thread wrong you should probably site a source. Do you have one?

Even with a source, my sig will still apply.

Did any of you site a soucre that PS3 dev cost start at 14million or whatever.
PSn titles are PS3 games, you people like to forget that.

Do you even bother to read the original topic? That's a rhetorical question btw.
Actually.....It's pretty easy to find wholesale prices on video games at major retailers.
Retailers pay *about* $45.00 USD for a $60 game, and about $40.00 for a $50 game. So you can go from there on sale prices.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

So are you telling me that half the difference between $50 and $60 dollars games goes to the retailers?

I think independent dealers might have to pay as much as $45 for a $60 game to distributors. The big chains pay less than that. Wholesale prices are usually listed by distributors who take their cut as well.
