Heavy Rain might be unique, but that doesn't mean it can't make the same profit margins as the big boys.

During the Digital Dragons Festival, Quantic Dream co-CEO Guillaume de Fondaumiere uncovered Heavy Rain's budget and total revenue. He said:
Sony earned more than euro;100 million with this game. It's very profitable. He mentioned moments earlier that Heavy Rain costed in the realm of euro;16.7 million (around $21.9 million U.S. Dollars) to create. In today's video game industry that's not far from the average production cost. Heavy Rain's motion capturing and voice acting techniques were reasons behind the game's motion picture sized budget.
