This could have been spent on game development

Or they can just keep doing both.

Unless you have some factual proof of how much this cost to make, and how much of the bill each side paid?

I mean, was it a big deal when Nintendo did it? Sony? I believe Steam does it as well. Who cares, it's an app.

nope and nope. So why is this news?

(Also, those two didn't make apps for them, just routed to an ordering page in a simple way)

by big deal, i mean, were you upset that the money wasn't going to game development?

actually who cares, I learned from the recent Live thread there is no point with some.

On a side note why does Pizza Hut say that 18-24 year old's are their "hard to get" market? I'm fairly certain the exact opposite is true.


I don't know about the States, but here in Canada (at least where I live) Pizza Hut is generally more expensive than other pizza places mostly because they try and pull off that nicer restaurant/ better quality feel. It's usually a place families go together or order so I can see the young adult males(generally viewed with a lower income because they're probably in school still or just starting their careers) avoiding it. 

Wut? Pizza Hutt joined the race to the bottom here a few years ago. There's no pretense that they are the high class pizza company any more. Their pizzas were always low class, it just took them a while to realise it and accept that as their niche.

For a number of years they struggled to turn a profit because they were trying to be the high end guys. Once they got cheap and cheerful, hey, they are now making their parent company some nice profits.


That could very well be the case soon here, I have no idea how well they've been doing here but they are definitely viewed as the higher end in the pizza market here for the time being. 

Pizza Hut is...higher end? I'm so sorry for you..

maybe I'm overconcerned, maybe you're underconcerned. Who knows? We could always look at the past 2 years of first party dev by MS if you want to look at who's focusing a little too much on apps and not enough on games.

Yeah that was Pizza Hut also.

I'm shocked it took someone this long to make an app for this on consoles. I'd expect more to follow.

Thanks, I'm putting that in the OP. :)

LARGE!

I have to admit, I am addicted to pizza. I probably eat pizza once a week on average, even more during my vacation/time off.
I think in my city we have over 20 pizza places to eat, and a new one opens every so many months.
Fact is It's cheap to make and is easy to profit on if you can get the right staff and customers to enjoy your business.
I can't imagine Pizza Hut losing any money on the pizza itself. I think a relative told me It only cost him around $3ish for a large pizza with one topping and a decent amount of cheese.



It's just that simple.
