Microsoft supposedly paid $50 for exclusivity for GTA 4 DLC.

I would assume they paid more for a full game. I would guess $100 million.
Despite the PS4 being a runaway success, I am sure EA is laughing all the way to the bank, as Microsoft probably paid close to $200 to EA for all of their exclusivity deals (Plants vs Zombies, FIFA, etc).
I also think Vince is pissed, since he probably makes a royalty based on the number of copies sold. From his tweets, he seemed to be surprised that EA made it a Microsoft exclusive. This means less copies sold, and less money for him. EA better share or I can see Respawn leaving.
