Fair enough but DaveyJJ is in the right ballpark when he says a game on the shelves at $60 costs $15 to manufacture. In fact I'd say the cost is less.
Panda are a well known manufacturer and they state that final retail price is usually 3 to 5 times the manufacturers price. Of course the manufacturers price is above the manufacturers cost. Assuming a 50% margin for the manufacturer (which I would say is on the low side) then each $60 game costs between $8 and $13 to produce. A higher gross margin for the manufacturer would of course mean a lower cost.
