Not really weird when you think about it. Most of us saw it being this way years ago. You simply reap what you sow. One company is investing in new studios and new IPs and the other is shutting tehm down and shelving IPs and recycling teh same IPs they have always had. Something has to give. And it doesn't help that MS makes or seems to make some of the most ridiculous gaming choices. Like spending $2.5B on minecraft...... at $100M a pop that could have funded 25 new IPs!!! |
In retrospect it was an financial investment that is doing well, considering when they bought it only sold 60 million copies and early this year they surpassed 120 million copies (close to 140-150 million at the end of this year I guess). Include all the mash packs/Monthly Realm fees/Merchandise and they must be close to making their money back or already did. Making an investment that potentially can makes you billions is not rediculous.
