Breaking even will be quite difficult for a nigh-10-year developement game. My guess is BW and EA are going to be happy with almost breaking even and taking the relative success in sales (compared to other BW projects) as a return to form.
Most importantly, BW might get some leverage from this, because they can always state that they would've finished DAV in half the time if they hadn't been sent back to the drawing board twice, in which case DAV would be a smashing success already.
