This is perfect start-up money for MICROSOFT FILM STUDIOS!

They should make 3 Halo film's for $200m each, and each would gross $1bn.

= $2,400 profit in 5 years!

My prediction threads:

Wii U will sell under 40m units (made on 14th September 2012)

PS Vita will sell under 20m units (made on 30th September 2012)

Wii U will sell under 7m in 2013 - I was right

Halo 4 first 9 weeks sales prediction

PS4 to be down YOY in 2015

I am trying to pre-empt any negative spin on this by thinking of it first....

I cant think of any.

?! I thought investment was your job.

1st: Why did they invest so late (2007)
2nd: Why just 250 million

The goes for every profit you make with investments.

Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

Technically they only made 750 million, which coincidentally is enough to make a bunch of Halo movies.

^I agree. With like $200 million put into a Halo movie it could be huge. The Fall of Reach novel is perfect for a movie. Introducing the Master Chief and all the other Spartans from childhood all the way to the battle on Reach. Than of course have Halo CE has the second movie. ETC ETC.

Yeah unfortunately they're bastards so they won't do that. Although the 90 minute live action series is going to be a pretty dang good supplement...supposedly it goes through Master Chief's life.
