It was 4% of the net sales price of DVD players and DVD decoders (not just the drive) , with a minimum royalty of $4.00 per player or decoder and a maximum of $8.00. The Gamecube and Xbox would be considered the DVD players, and 4% of their net sales price would reach the $8 limit. They would both be charged $8 per console at their launch prices. Most PS2 games could fit on a Gamecube disc, and for those that couldn't they could use two discs (though it may be harder with some open world games) or use compression . Besides, if they put a DVD drive in the Gamecube it would be less of a small CUBE. =P |
And thats just royalites, not to mentione that DVD player itself in PS2 defintly cost much more than optick in GC.
