Atari's big gamble didn't pay off. Less than 40 percent of the

Atari's bankruptcy in 1984.


Unlike cds, cartridges are expensive to make, and Atari buried over 60%
of the E.T. cartridges and had to pay to do so.

Over 2.4 million cartridges that were nothing but cost.

You are talking about some other game. I am asking how much loss or income
did Daikatana make.

Have you heard of context?

You said
They should do biggest financial flops in gaming. Daikatana would get #1 for sure then.
I reply
Don't think Daikatana burned more cash than E.T. did.
You reply
That link says it cost 12mil to make. Wonder how much it made back?

I give the figures for Atari's huge loss on E.T. which are pretty much
guaranteed to be far more than 12 million.

Maybe you should learn to NOT cut all the context out so you can
actually remember what's being discussed.

This whole sub thread is coming from YOUR CLAIM that Daikatana is the
biggest financial flop in gaming
