So revenue sales of mgs5 are in and it looks like when you subtract the various cuts plus the advertising budget it broke even day 1.

Will make a decent profit over time but also consider that ground Zeroes sold around 3m total including digital and that was before they got money for the ps plus and gold versions.  

GZ probably took in between 60-90 million in revenue so that prologue alone probably went a long way to paying off the costs.  

Microtransactions will add a few more million too and any future paid dlc.  

Maybe they will do this but if they don't I can't for the life of me understand how they wouldn't make Mission 51 as a GZ type epilogue.  Seriously.  Make an island and a long dog mission that ends with an epic metal gear battle.  Sell it for $20 and you'll bring in about $50-70m.

Would easily make a profit and make everybody happy.

Looking at halo 5 bundle on amazon are people foolish to buy this at 500? I mean 2 weeks after it releases it will probably get its price cut by 50 or 100$. Unless it's very limited and they just stop selling.

To be fair, avengers 2 made a lot more than that 80m on its first day globally. I think that number's only for the us

Big difference between $60 game vs $10 movie tickets as well

Yes, but gaming is by far the biggest entertainment industry. GTA did $815 million in the first 24 hours.

The article just sucks.

Just to remember...

Destiny PS4 bundle was doing better than Halo Xbox One bundle at Amazon near release.

XBO and Wii U have practically the same install base but wii u is doing much better in terms of software sales.
PS4 is just doing gawd like numbahs!

BIU Awards only counts the last 12 months of sales.

For example if a game win the 200k award in June 2015 that means it took from July 2014 to June 2015 to reach these 200k... so old games sold more than that.

So we could be looking at 40+ for ps4
10+ for wii u
and 4+ for xbox one
