What if Microsoft goes on a shopping spree?

The PS3 versions of Bioshock 2 and Assasins Creed 2 will generate 2 million in sales. If the Developer/Publisher split is $40 that's 80 million dollars MS would have to invest in those 2 games. I think the reason you are seeing MS buy the exclusive marketing deals for demos, game announcements, and dlc is that it is too expensive to buy exclusive games. Also, 20 million for the next Bethesda game seems way too low.

Assassin's Creed easily.  But do you really see Bioshock 2 PS3 selling two million?

 

I think Bioshock 2 will sell close to 2 million on the PS3 and 2.5 million on the 360.  Bioshock sold 2.16 million on the 360, and the 360 had less than 19 million consoles sold when most of the sales occur.  The PS3 should be close 25 million units when Bioshock 2 releases.  My thoughts depend upon it being a day/date release with the 360 and a metacritic above 85%.  How many do you think it well sell on each platform?
