| ironmanDX said: The NFL deal is $400,000 over 5 years so no. CoD is a maybe but I doubt they count that as an investment. Making a new game, opening a studio or something similar is what I was thinking. If CoD and Titanfall were counted, how would the X1 still get 15 internally developed titles? It's looking like the Xbox ONE could have 20+ exclusives over the PS4 in the first year alone. |
I wouldnt have thought the NFL deal is included in their $1billion.
As far as AA-AAA games are concerned you are probably looking at $15-50 million per game. So that sounds like a lot of games if you were just to get your own studios to make some games... thats alot of games. But exclusivity is extremely expensive, so the $1 billion will be cut down significantly depending on how much exclusive content they go for... and i think that is key.
GTA DLC exclusivity was $75million. So MS could easily speend $200-450 million on there deals (its always higher at the start of the gen)
So it wouldnt surprise me this is why Sony sold some buildings so they could at least get some cash in to spend.
Making an indie game : Dead of Day!
