What about buring 60 million dollars on killzone 2

I forgot all about that but you are right, but in all honesty lets hope they do even though it doesn't look like it is going to happen.

 

 If you ignore the fact that the $60 million figure is pure speculation and not proven fact to a degree there is the same consideration to be made as with the first DLC for GTA4.  Whatever the budget of KZ2 was, a large proportion of the cost would have been tool and engine development, these can now be used on future games and licensed to third parties to generate revenue.  I think it's almost impossible for that money to be considered a bad investment personally, sure KZ2 might not make as much money as Sony would hope but it should justify itself being created.

No.
