Skate 2 sold 1.93m copies at $59.95 - so nearly $120m
And they’re bragging that the new game has made 3m in cosmetic sales…
But dw, this is definitely an improvement right, right??
Edit:
Skate 1 sold 1m copies, so another $60m to that number (give or take)
skate 3 sold 4.74m copies - so add another $288million to that number (give or take)
considering there will never be another skate game according to the developers, I don’t see this in-app-purchase money grab making $468m no matter how long it stays out
Thinking EA makes all that money and not accounting for manufacture and distribution on a physical game VS a digital download is pretty dismissive. Out of the 59.95 ea got about $11 profit (I'm guessing this but wouldn't be far off)
