If I create an empty scene with only a MainCamera, it reports 6 GameObjects in Scene. In more complex scenes, the discrepancy between what’s in my Hierarchy view and this readout is even higher.
Don’t know, never used it… but maybe it count’s every component of the game object, including game object since you say it count’s six for a camera and a basic camera would have
1)Game Object
2)Transform
3)Camera
4)GUILayer
5)Flare Layer
6)Audio Listener
for it’s components… remove a couple of the components and see if the count changes.
Edit: Profiler window must be a pro-unity-only thing I guess (if that’s what you’re talking about) ; I can’t use it on my freebie version.
