It shows search result for bayonetta shipped units. 3.09m units is for the whole series 1.77m units is for the first game all consoles 1.32m units is for the second game all consoles And then it goes into listing each game for each console separately.
If you total it all up you end up with ~10m which is 3x the total units shipped. Because you counted each unit 3 times.
I don't know how she got 450m$ for a franchise that sold 3m units. Maybe she saw 450m yen which would be around 4.5m$. Given physical media manufacturing cost, distributer, publisher, development cost and investor ROI interest it could be that. And that ~5m profit does not go into buying yachts and other luxuries but more likely covers employee wages during downtime and unprofitable projects.
According to her own interview, the Bayo 1 VA took 4 4-hour sessions to record. If this one is comparable to the first the final offer would be 1000$ per session which someone commented is OK in this line of work.
She got an offer, rejected it, and somebody else took it. It is not a reason to throw mud at the project a week before release. Unless she expected to get a better offer after she pulled out, got disappointed another actor took her job and is now out for revenge.
She has talent, but if she is not going to work it will go to waste. You can't live from one gig forever, you need to work to earn your pay.
Anyway, sad to hear she's having financial difficulties and wish her all the jobs and all the joy in the world.
