Probably over a billion dollars will be spent on marketing. What was kinect marketing cost? Xbox One is kinect and Xbox together launching so it will just be multiplied.


$500,000,000 for Kinect if I'm not mistaken. Over a billion is a big possibility!

Tis a shame they couldn't promote more healthy things in their marketing. It is like they want to add to the obesity and diabetes rate in USA.

Yeah, because an occasional snack is deadly.

Anyhow, you can easily burn those calories with Kinect.

Shitty pic but you get the point.

 


Hmm.. All that pic made me do is wonder if I should get ryse at launch with Forza and potentially something else!

 

Pretty crazy that they've already done that! Did you take the picture?


Unfortunately no or I would have been posting updates from E3.

I'm totally getting RYSE @ launch. As soon as I seen the sword play, SOLD!!!

I like hack and slash games. However Ninja gaiden 3 was a massive let down. I hated that game but loved 2.

I really want to get to taste Mountain Dew one day. It's not sold here. :(

The APU R&D cost was estimated over 3 billions, so I would say at least 2 billions on marketing

2 billion? Some people will buy an X1 just so they're playing it and not looking at the ads everywhere!!

Microsoft could buy a building for that much dough.

A Xbone shaped building would be a hell of a marketing.

And a new home for obscene graffitis.
