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. |
What i'm saying, is that Microsoft can afford this deal if it goes wrong, because they must have calculated how much FIFA 14 units would have sold if the game was sold at retail. If the deal cost as much as 500k units sold, that's not so much money to Microsoft.
