Marvel's Avengers does not take off, Square Enix has lost 63 million dollars

Despite Square Enix has decided in the past few weeks of indefinitely cut the price of microtransactions in Marvel's Avengers, it would appear that i achieved results titled dedicated to the famous Avengers of the Marvel universe are more disappointing than expected. According to recent statements by David Gibson, co-founder of Astris Advisory Japan KK, would have emerged from the documents of the Japanese holding that the latest effort of Crystal Dynamics e Eidos Montréal cost about $ 190 million. Unfortunately, two months after its debut on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC, Marvel's Avengers managed to sell "only" the 60% of initially estimated copies from the Japanese company, resulting in a loss of $ 62,9 million. Despite the substantial loss, these are respectable figures, which bode well for the future of the project.

Square Enix - reported a loss of 6,5 billion Yen for HD games led by Marvel Avengers, it was not explicitly said how many copies were sold, but should be around 60% of the initially estimated units. It implies that the game cost more than $ 100 million to make, but only sold 3 million. Ouch

It appears that Marvel's Avengers cost between $ 170m- $ 190m, as they only spend 70% of the cost in the quarter plus marketing costs. Why no one has decided to stop publishing the multiplayer beta will remain a mystery.

Waiting to find out more details on the fate of the title, and on when the next expansions will be released (which will add new playable characters to the Avengers team, such as Hawk eye e Kate bishop), we remind you that Marvel's Avengers is already available for purchase on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC.
