You test the waters with a small inexperienced team of dev.

A team at Rare is being led by the guy that designed Donkey Kong Country, Conker: BFD, Banjos and Viva Pinata.

And why would they do that? Why would they make a game with inexperienced developers? That makes no sense. No testing the water in the gaming world means lower budgets, a digital game is perfect for that. Hell it might be retail, it most likely won't be AAA, it'll be mid tier, AA.

How much it cost to run a 200 dev team? You think a no AAA, small downloadable title would recoup the investment made by MS?

Think about that.
