Been reading some of the documents on the Insomiac Leak, and I find some things that just dont seem to add up!
I´m going to explain them here, and note that I´m note saying these documents are fake! I have no way of saying that, but the simple fact is that things just dont seem to add up, and, as such appear to me as quite strange!
So let´s be clear here, I´m not trying to sell the idea of fake documents, but just share the things I found that doesnt seem to add up.
So lets beguin:
Somewhere on the leaks is this image:

What called my attention on this was the that the Break Even numbers are equal on Spider Man 2 and Spider Man 2, although the costs are different.
So I made some calculations to Spider Man 3:
5.5 milion games * 70 dolars = 385 million. That is the cost of the game, so it is correct!
But in that case, on Spider Man 2 it is Wrong!
Off course this is assuming all sales are at 70 euros, so it can be a case of they thinking they can sell 5.5 million copies of SpiderMan 3 at 50 euros, but cannot sell 4.5 million copies of SpiderMan 2 at the same price, so they need more copies.
In that case Spider Man 2 sales are estimates. And the chart is previous to that game!
But then there is this:

This chart is in the same leak, and it shows Sales numbers and Net sales (income - all expenses except production costs - same as the ones in the Insomniac chart).
Ratchet & Clank Shows 2,742K sales and 145 millions in Net profit.
Miles Morales shows 11.125k sabes and 427 millions in Net Profit.
If this is true then sales Numbers and Income on the Insomniac chart are totally wrong.
Something is wrong here! Why would Insomniac count Ratchet as a non profitable game when it was?
And why are sales and income numbers of older games with numbers closed wrong on the Insomniac chart?
Then we have this that I also find strange. And I repeat, I find it strange! Not saying it´s fake or that others hould think as me, but I find it strange!

What is written is, in my oppinion, all true. And I do not even doubt that Sony may have these fears!
But why is such a document made by Insomniac, and with the Insomiac logo on it, instead of the Playstation or Sony Logo?
Also find it strange, although I might undertand the reasoning, to claim so openly and without a reservation line, that Sony's pillars are dated when Sony is on the way to have it´s best generation ever. Sony´s pilars are solid on the area Sony is currently operating, although weak on new areas.
Although there might be a reasonable explanation I find this as strange as a Hotel management discussion apearing with the hotel´s restaurant logo!
But as I wrote, this is me! You may think otherwise.
Finally, this:

The agreement between Sony and Marvel states a 120 million development cost for each of the three Games. That is very far from the 305 millions we saw on the first image! Even adding 30 million for marketing and the extra 9 million, we are far from the 305 million stated above.
Is Sony going above the agreement, Spending half of the agreed money on just one Game? If the cost of development if the one on the Insomiac charts, why write these absurd values on the agreement?
These are the things I found that I find strange!
Can someone provide good explanation for these?
