If it's FIFA, how much EA consider should cost the deal for microsoft??? I don't think EA will be generous with it.....

It is an exlcusive deal where the game comes bundled for no extra cost. It isn't to have the game totally exclusive. Microsoft spent over a billion dollars on game development. Compared to that it was most likely launch money for a Fifa bundle.

Well, you're right, considering how much they spent on the NFL deal, 50 million $ shouldn't hurt too much Microsoft

It might cost them a shitton of money.

Fifa is one of the key moneymakers in the whole game retail business. If you think the whole retail business will just stand by and celebrate the loss of a major income steam, you are quite naive. They WILL demand better deals for selling XBox skus, so MS WILL lose a lot more money on hardware than planned.
