Yeah as an outsider looking in, that is a strange figure to get towards. But then again, idk anything about how video game financials are spent outside of employee salaries.
This is like the third figure we've gotten now, and now if management doesn't come out to debunk it, then journalists will take it to be true. Sucks to constantly be in the "damned if you do, damned if you don't" state because now you have to constantly be online to see whatever rumor comes up to address.
I don't think we'll get a word on this, though, because this doesn't have any sort of effect on public perception of what's happening at XBOX compared to things like XBOX being unhappy with GTA 6 pre-orders and that XBOX secured cloud streaming rights for GTA 6.
Constantly different reported figures on a game's budget? Not as important.
You called down the thunder, now reap the whirlwind
