20 new AAA games.

This guy knows what's up.
It isn't as simple as a this or that question. Many things influence their decisions I'm sure. It's a business strategy. Microsoft is expanding it's horizons and it will probably be a good move for them in the end.
Been away for a bit, but sneaking back in.
Gaming on: PS4, PC, 3DS. Got a Switch! Mainly to play Smash
Just to remember, most of the casual costumers don't care about the publisher and the creator of the IP left the company... And beeing a extremely simply looking game and selling a lot like it (besides having creativity already quite good sorted out) I don't see how they would make a sequel to capitalize the name and make 50M more sales or how good they would do on a new IP... probably blow money.

Where the heck did they get those numbers? Katrina cost close to 100 billion dollars in 2005 USD, not 45 million and Afghanistan GDP number is also wrong.
Edit: Image URL is P4R Gaming, hahahaha.
Another of those thread... The OP does not get it at all.
They are not buying a GAME but a brand... And a VERY successful one...
For instance do you think the Halo brand value is less than 2.5 billion?

Maybe you don't het the OP and are being hasty to defend a MS move...
He is just asking each person if it was their decision they would preffer to invest in 20 AAA or buying Minecraft... I can certainly see why most gamers would decide for having more games to play instead of trying to defend why a corporate bought a brand.
Halo is certainly quite valuable, but do you see Minecraft 2, 3, 4, reach and BCC having close sales to the original? Or the movie and TV series?

Seriously bringing MS defense shit in your response is just so childish. Chill out, evrything is not about MS vs Sony you know.
Perfectly understood the OP and my point is exactly about it. Buying Minecraft is not only about the game... I'm not going to explain it again if you cannot comprehend why. So asking for a AAA game vs Minecraft is just pointless as you need to take into consideration other factor such as the brand value which is in that case WAY more than the game itself.

You didnt understand the OP, if you had, you would understand he was talking about gamers point of view and not corporate pov so we dont care about the brand value for them.
Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:
PS4: 17m XB1: 10m WiiU: 10m Vita: 10m

lol yah right... The OP is talking about Gamers point of view specificaly on a sales website. Okay, I guess I missed that specific sentence :)
Look, you may want or believe that we should be talking about a gamer point of view but in no way the OP is asking about a gamer point of view specicaly , esp while posting dev. cost... It may be the case and it may be more conveniant to you tho. And Don Ferarri is just trying to start shit with his MS defense force comment.
