Christi Junior (npub1rjh…uefa) just to put it into perspective, the E.T. game in 1982 sold 2.6 million copies. But because it cost so much to produce, and they produced so many cartridges, Atari still had around $100 million in losses. That was considered the biggest flop in videogame history, and the main responsible for the videogames crash in the 80's.
Adjusted for inflation, $100 million in 1982 is equivalent to $326,736,787.56 nowadays. Less than what Sony lost on Concord.
