Your point remains valid. Do the math and you can come to no other conclusion.
Yeah my example isnt ment to be spot on... its just an example. (a guess-timate)

but everyone wants this new sub sim to be the `crem del la creme`.
look at dev cost for Gran turismo "$60 million" and gran turismo is single platform (PS3 only).

so what im getting at is making a high end sub sim for the `niche' market is just not profitable.

it's sad but true.
