Oh I imagine Home is costing Sony a fair bit more than that. As someone above mentioned, maintaining it will be just as expensive.
And of course, if the software isn't going to take off, its all non-recoverable.
Taking what I assume is you're sarcastic jab at Microsoft, we can look at a better way to spend money on software:
-Make a $50 million recoverable LOAN to secure exclusive content for a franchise affiliated with ANOTHER console brand which goes on to ensure that brand switches to identifying with Microsoft's brand, mitigates ANY console boost for it's competitor and this is all BEFORE the arrival of said content.
-Ensure that the full $50 million LOAN is likely to be recovered (and in this case, its likely to be recovered and THEN some) so that it can then be re-invested into more AAA titles.
