If they in fact paid $50mil its hard to say they if they can recoup it directly from sales of the DLC. I figure they will need to sell at least 3 million copies of DLC total of both episodes.

 

We already did the math. It would take 1,250,000 to buy both the packs or 2,500,000 to buy at least one of the packs

 

I can see that 2,500,000 x $20 = $50 mill but the MS points need to be purchased from a retailer and the retailer gets a percentage.  Also Gamestop is selling DLC coupons so once again the retailer will have to take a portion.
