If the 500 million dollar investment rumor is true, the game would have to sell around 8.5 million copies to break even, making the assumption every dollar from a $60 purchase goes back to Activision and not anyone else. Rough estimates I have read is they need to sell around 20 million copies to break even(obviously not taking into account DLC). We should be happy this game isnt rated E.
Getting an XBOX One for me is like being in a bad relationship but staying together because we have kids. XBone we have 20000+ achievement points, 2+ years of XBL Gold and 20000+ MS points. I think its best we stay together if only for the MS points.
Nintendo Treehouse is what happens when a publisher is confident and proud of its games and doesn't need to show CGI lies for five minutes.
