Im taking this from Wikepedia:
Quantum Break was revealed with a teaser trailer during the Xbox One reveal event on 21 May 2013.[20] While developing the game, developers Remedy Entertainment consulted a scientist lecturer who had worked at CERN who taught them how to write the plot in such a way that it adhered to current theoretical physics.[15] The game was initially scheduled for release in 2014[21] but was subsequently delayed until 2015. It was further delayed to 2016 so as to make the final product more "polished" while not clashing with other Microsoft exclusives scheduled to be released in late 2015.[22] Remedy has created a brand new engine to power Quantum Break called the "Northlight Engine".[23] The game is set to be released on 5 April 2016.[24]
In February 2016, it was announced that Quantum Break would be released on PC exclusively for Windows 10 via Windows Store and would require DirectX 12.[25][26]
On 21 February 2016, Remedy confirmed that the game had been declared gold, indicating it was being prepared for duplication and release.[27]

This sure as hell sounds like a fucking expensive game. But not only that:
- The game was shown in three E3's in a row with Microsoft giving the game a section of each conference.
- Bundled the game with the console, and comboed with a 50$ price cut.
- Got rid of the first main actor to go with a more Hollywood feel with a new more recongnized main character.
- Implemented a never seen before live action series, which entire lengh is just like an entire movie.

I dont know about you guys, but barely selling a million copies doesnt sound too hot for such an expensive and hyped game.

P.D. This is in no way, shape or form a downplay of the game per se, i finished it yesterday and loved every second of it. I hope it sells enough for a sequel to be guaranteed.
