The "break the bank" quote has been constantly taken out of context for months. When it was originally said, Microsoft was referring to speaking about games that were not to come out this year as opposed to their typical routine of exclusively announcing and showing off games coming within the next 6 months.

Microsoft "broke the bank" with Halo Reach, Metal Gear Solid: Rising, Alan Wake, Natal, and most likely Crackdown 2.
