[Cerveza mas fina]

Quantic Dream's Guillaume de Fondaumiere revealed to a Digital Dragons audience in Poland today that PlayStation 3 exclusive Heavy Rain cost just €16.7 million to make - even with all those emotional polygons stuffed in.

With Sony's marketing and distribution on top, the total spend looked something like €40 million. But, Fondaumiere said, "Sony earned more than €100 million with this game. It's very profitable."

According to our source close to Square Enix, we are able to confirm the arrival of Final Fantasy Versus XIII on PS3 ... and PS4.

According to our information, the change would have occurred there are now nearly 2 years. A moment more complex during development. The life of the project has been anything but smooth sailing. But no, the title is definitely not canceled.

Note that today, the title would be dedicated to Sony machines and therefore do not come out on Xbox 360.

Our source confirmed that Sony would have helped this transition with the PS4 portage financially. The price for such exclusivity? Difficult to judge. Remains to be more and know a release date. Square Enix is scheduled to speak on the subject at E3 2013 in June in Los Angeles ...

movies are more profitable.

To get 100 million revenue they would have to sell 1.7 million copies at 60 euro.

So if you add the cost of 17 million to that, they would need to sell 2 million copies at 60 euro.

17 millions seems low though with these budget weve been hearing. Then again I bet 70% of these uber budgets is marketing.

The article says the total cost [including marketing, distribution, ect.] was 40 million.

The wording's a little vague, though, "earned" could just mean raw sales.

That's supposing Sony got to keep the full retail amount and that they all sold at full price, which isn't the case.  Davey's fudging.

is "fudging" UK slang for "full of shit"?
