    Well the only income they had was from retail sales... So even without exact figures, if you consider the amount of people working on the XIV project (JP/NA/EU staff), the amount spend on marketing (all right not that much, but still there was some advert here and there), server upkeep, etc. I hardly doubt that what they earned did cover over 1 year of expenses.

    And I'm not even gonna talk about pre-release dev costs...

    Last I read earlier this year was, SE was in the hole 7 billion with the failure thus far of XIV. I will attempt to find that article again.
