Is that supposed to be a lot? I can't tell.

Almost $700,000,000 in revenue if you multiply the price by the amount sold.

Keep in mind they probably spent more than that amount of money on R&D / aqua-hiring.

It's a lot of money, but still not enough to be a commercially successful product for at least a few more years.

Over 700 million? I find that dubious. 700 million is a lot of money isnt it? Thats what I'd expect a tank or a jet to cost in R&D.

R&D for a jet or tank is significantly more. To not throw out nonsense some quick googling told me the R&D just for an upgrade of the Abrams tank (which is old) is $650m and the total R&D of the F22 jet over two decades was $32B....

And you should keep in mind that these things are only sold in the USA at this point

I’d say that’s certainly enough to attract developers given it’s barely out.
