why cant people understand this? Its basic.

it doesn't mean ms paid $3bn or owes $3bn

it means the deal to provide it could be worth $3bn to the company.

it is entirely dependent on sales of the new consoles.

 

The deal is valued at 3bn over multiple years.

Thanks you. I really couldn't bother pointing it out and was hoping someone would do it instead. Wondering how long it would take, or how far the comments would go about those assumptions that MS actually paid $3b for the development of the tech that is inside the XBO... Funny thoughts.
