like for example after they send it to the factories to make like how much would a 3ds game be to manufacter no actually make it on computers etc in a factory where its mass produced
how much for 1 game?

Hundreds of thousands of dollars for the cheapest ones, millions for the good ones.

i mean after its been made like when their making the store copies in the factories

Oh, tens of thousands of dollars then. Unless it's a best seller, could get up to millions or even billions.

EDIT: Thankfully, I is 1337 corrected my error. The most expensive game ever was made for $100 Mil. Thanks, I is 1337.

i mean per game.......................

Gosh, are you specific. I'd say about $0.75-$1.50 per game card or disk. It could be more depending on the price of the materials.


You should really be more specific in the OP so people know what you are talking about.

The cost to package and produce the actual cartridge is probably about $1. Most of that money goes to the case (lots of plastic) and the instruction booklet (ink, paper). The cartridge itself is small, so not much plastic and putting the software on it is like, 1 cent.

They sell it for $40, though, to pay for all the production costs that created the game. Also because they can get away with it.

The spare change in your pocket.
