All (successful) companies work the same way:

A = estimated costs for developing with X man hours of resources
B = estimated sales income after X man hours of development

Choose X to maximise (B-A)

It's not quite that simple, but you get the idea that after a certain point 
your profit goes *down* the bigger X is.
