For PC games, Hard copies return roughly 40-45% of the title to the publisher. Valve gets a 30% slice for distribution on Steam. I do not know what the breakdown of costs are on consoles, but I assume both Sony and MS still get a cut of the sales. Consider that the bulk of a game's sales will be realized during the first week, and the rapid time to discount, it's no wonder T2 decided to pull the cord on Irrational Games.
