Note, the $12 for retailers is actually the TOTAL profit made along the entire retail chain, including distributors, etc. It's not the end store that makes that, this I know for a fact

Next-gen games cost a *lot* to make. Does this really surprise anybody?

I wouldn't mind seeing these figures in set numbers, instead of percentages. As much as I would like to think that developers get a cut of the percentages, I'm sure they get shafted with a salary job, just as much as the rest of us. (Read: EA Games...)
It also doesn't detail exactly which areas have gone up in price, compared to older games.
