sales don''t always depend on the development budget. Marketing has a big impact on sales so the marketing budget can be just as important. I know of two games released by the same publisher. One cost $300,000 to develop and the other $2,000,000.

The former made $30,000,000 for the publisher and the latter (which was very well reviewed but had its marketing budget slashed for financial reasons) made $4,000,000.
