When you consider that MS payed for a lot of their third-party titles, it's even less money, especially when factoring in that some of them had less-than-stellar sales. It was probably a pretty big egg on MS's face when games like Blue Dragon, Eternal Sonata, Lost Odyssey sold pretty poorly and failed to improve their position in Japan.
I wouldn't be surprised if the same were to happen with the 50 million dollars that MS paid for the exclusive content in GTAIV considering that most gamers really don't care about it.
