Talking to Major Nelson in his latest podcast, Microsoft Game Studios boss Phil Spencer mentioned that Microsoft's plan for next year's E3 will be to discuss game's that are "further out in the future" which he admits may just "break the bank."

"We're looking at some of the plans for the future and things that we might want to tease, and it's very exciting because there's a lot of stuff on the way," said Spencer, making it quite clear that Microsoft will not be holding back on their E3 reveals. And now, after we think about it, we're not sure what bank breaking announcements Microsoft will have in June of 2009. That said, we never doubt Microsoft's ability to impress.

Six billion to establish the brand name wasn't breaking the bank?

What does that mean other than trolling? are they debating that they havn't broken the bank before? why do the simplest of comments have to be torn apart all the time.

Who knows what they mean with this comment but i hope that it means they are shunting money into developing their own games instead of being predictable in stealing others... I mean it is getting a bit old now MS!

@squal

hey now saying stealing isn't fair is it.

Everyone does deals like these. I love me Ps3 & 360, but we need to accept both SONY & Microsoft do back hand deals for games.

I am sure a deal was done for MGS4/Ghostbusters European Exclusivity.

Its not personal, just business.

It probably means Microsoft is going to show a much more in debth view of their games portfolio... normally they don't talk to much about anything that wont release that fiscal year
