some things to consider:
- 15M copies is almost a billion at retail. not all of that is activisions but around half probably is.
- that $500M was from a CEO remark that I would suggest isn't a very exact figure.
- there will be 2-3 $20 expansion packs sure as rain is wet.
- sony's exclusive marketing and early alpha access and bundle didn't come for free. no idea what sony spent but i'll bet it is no less than $10M. sony will be getting a huge boost to ps+ subscriptions so i'm sure they were willing to invest a lot for this deal.
- sequels will be much cheaper and i do believe activsion is viewing this as a long term investment.
OT - 15M is a big number. i wouldn't call it a sure thing but i wouldn't say it is unreasonable either.
