Well, discounting the recent proce drop, even at $50 per copy you have to understand that includes not only development costs but marketing, packaging, distribution, retail mark-ups, etc., etc..
And also keep in mind that the question isn't so much whether or not the game makes money, but
how much money does it make relative to other, more mainstream projects? Games like Assassin's Creed 2, Prince of Persia, and their ilk, most likely yield a much higher return on investment of those same resources.
