Modern Warfare 2 has made about a bazillion dollars so far around the world, but thatās not all profit. Youāve got to subtract the gameās development costs. And for such a polished game, those must be pretty highā¦
And they are. An LA Times report on the gameās launch says the game ācost $40 million to $50 million to produceā. Thatās, uh, a lot for a game thatās built atop a preceding title. Gran Turismo 5 has cost $60 million so far, but that gameās been in development for five years, not the two it took to get MW2 out the door.
