omg
-
they could have invested that sort of money in better ways, 50m for DLC is stupid.
-
paid*
-
link? If they did that's straight up distinguished mentally-challenged, it's not like the PS3 version was going to sell better than the 360 one.
I guess the way they see it is not only do they take from Sony but can hawk more LIVE supciptions out of it?
50 dollars times at LEAST a million people downloading content for that god awful game should off set the investment, but even so I dunno I can't help but think Microsoft got raped on that one.
-
proof? that sounds like a dumb business move, even for MS
-
Well, it should make more money for them than Rare did.
-
why would a download sell live subscriptions?

Maybe if MS made the DLC timed exclusives for Gold members?
Shit, I shouldn't say that out loud, MS might read it and actually do it.
-
That's what I was thinking distant...if not then i mean that's just stupid.
-
Was MS ever in fear of it selling more on PS3? Due to installed base about 70-80% of it's sales will be on 360 by pure console owner numbers.

They've never done that so I doubt they would give a shit just for this.
-
omg gta4
-
ah himu likes it, shit franchise without a doubt confirmed.
It's like black shenmue.
-
Someone should pay himuro to buy a 360 so he doesnt look like a poof spooging over these games
-
omg
-
game of the year

Isn't MS already doing that with some demos and XBLA titles?

they are for demos but I'm pretty sure arcade games are at the same time (with their demos).

He loves those games.

lol GTA.
Just buy Shadow the Hedgehog, guys. It's cheaper, stars a black protagonist as well, and probably plays as good as any GTA.

The only GTA that stars a black main character in SA, dumbass. Unless you include the black character you can pick in GTA1.
GTAIV doesn't even have a black main character.
Go back to playing Super Smash Bros. taco. Keep my GTA out of this.

No need for insults, my brother.
Take a chill pill, dog.

Dead to me. We had something special and then you had to DOUBLE TEAM on GTA.
I weep. I cry. I go play VICE CITY RIGHT FUCKING NOW. OH YEAH.

Thank you. And as it relates to the deferred revenue chunk associated with the episodic content on X-Box 360, you can see that $25 million of that moved into short-term deferred. Could you give us any sense of when that’s going to hit the P&L? Will we see $25 million at one time and then the second 25 or will it be a slow bleed?
Lainie Goldstein
The first 25 is for the first episodic content package that’s supposed to go out and that is in March of ’08. That’s why it moved into current because it’s in the next 12 months. The second 25 will be for the second episodic, the episode, and that will be later in fiscal ’08.
it's fucking psycho.
they'd make more money pimping kutaragi's grandma.

50 mln for same day launch AND downloadable content surely?
Seems so. Its just so normal now for 360 to get games within the same timeframe thats its forgotten that MS may have had to pay for same day launch.
-
Wow, waste of money... they should've put some of that cash towards trying to get FFXIII on the system...
:lol at black Shenmue... I liked Shenmue 1 a lot better than any GTA game though.
-
It seems like they only paid for two episodes worth of episodic content, I was expecting a few more epsiodes than that. Wow.
-
i wonder how much it would've cost to get gta4 exclusive for the 360.
maybe like $200mln or something lol
-
Dumb move, they should've payed Square Enix that amount of money for a AAA game.
It's not like MS will expand their userbase with the GTAIV content.
-

They might have tried.

I don't think it has anything to do with Sony when it comes to the SE support on X360, or the lack of it.
It is more the Japanese pride. If MS gets Square Enix, it's over for Sony. And I don't think SE wants that to happen.

Ok....

What's over for Sony? I doubt they can get any lower.

Sony still has more than MS when it comes to worldwide appeal. It's just the frikkin' price.
MS' X360 fails even at $299 with tons of games.

They can get SEGA low... revert back to the Sony Imagesoft days and release games for all the other consoles. Skyblazer and Equinox were cool but most of Sony Imagesoft stuff was awful.
-
50 million for xbox only content?
hmmmm, can you say lame.

except 360 is 400. the core pack has little impact in terms of ratio of 360's sold.
-
Sony has more world wide appeal? 360's line up disagrees.
-
Brandname in the video game world has very little significanct appeal.
This is proven over and over and over. Console/corporate name means VERY little outside fanboys.
If it did explain how quickly nintendo fell after SNES. Sega after Genesis? Sony after Playstation 2?
A system can have the best brand name and "appeal" in the world and they can still get a distant last place. Saturn, GameCube, and PS3 all show this.
