As stated before, 3rd party exclusive are a bad idea, and Titanfall is a great example. Exclusivity probably halved the total expected sales for Titanfall. It could have sold an additional 3-4 million for PS4/PS3 which is about another (4million * $60) $240 million of revenue. MS got a good deal for getting Titanfall exclusive to Xbox1, but Respawn probably didn't get $240 million to cover for the loss of sales. |
I pretty much agree with all you've said, just wanted to point out that Respawn wouldn't get anywhere near that $240 million figure. The shop takes $10, MS takes $10, packaging cost $5, publisher takes money, eitherway, I think they probably only got $15. So $60 million maybe but here is the thing I still don't think MS paid that much to keep the team working.
Hmm, pie.
