Microsoft Investing $1 billion into Games for the Xbox One.

This is bullshit! I thought that the Xbox One didn't play games! Seems the Bungie community has been lying to me.

Invests 1 Billion dollars in games..... Still has less games than Sony.

11 Repliesits funny, 90% of the people on here are playstation fanboys ranting about how the xbox sucks, while all the xbox players are actually playing the system and not coming on here to rant about the playstation 4. shows which system is more mature.

3 Replies1 Billion spread over 15 games, Even optimistic speculation (based on the general budgeting strategy of publishers(throw lots of money at it and hope for the best) and MS's potential exclusives(See halokinectgearskinectforzakinectkinectkinect)) doesn't look that great. my money's on five on them being good and the rest being either shovel ware, or just bad.

3 RepliesPeople keep complaining that Microsoft didn't show enough games at their conference. With E3 so close it didn't matter that much. We know (atleast I hope people know) that its already going to play games. The conference was to show off the new Xbox an what it can do. Everyone keeps saying "it just lets you watch TV and movies easier" that's stupid.

Edited by Swim Good: 5/30/2013 10:54:45 PMI'm sure the haters will find some way to twist this into a bad thing. Possibly they'll insist it'll all go on games for kinect? EDIT - lol, Icy Wind kind of got there first...

I wonder how much of that funding went into whatever [url=http://www.blacktuskstudios.com]Black Tusk Studios[/url] is working on

6 RepliesEdited by Noshotskill: 5/30/2013 12:07:01 AMAt least 50% of that will go towards 3 Halo and Gears of War titles. Microsoft spent a ton on just marketing Halo 3, Reach, and Halo 4. The 1 billion isn't very promising when you know Microsoft spends over 50 million on 1 Halo game. How do I know this? Halo 3 had a budget around 60 million, and Microsoft confirmed they spent more money on Halo 4. I also assume that Halo TV series isn't going to be cheap, especially since it can be considered part of the marketing budget on an unannounced Halo game.

We've the second highest gross investment per student. Just goes to show: Just cause you throw money at something doesn't necessarily mean you're going to get quality out of it.

To be honest, it doesn't matter how much money you spend on your products. It matters about the overall quality of the product. Just because you spend millions if not billions of dollars on your products, doesn't mean it will be any good (looks at Transformers, Avatar, Waterworld).

So two television shows, developing Kinect games, two more Halo games (at least, they said they want one every year), Gears of War, etc. 1 Billion isn't that much when compared to how much AAA games cost now.

I wonder how much of it is going to go to already existing IP's and lolKinect games?

$1 Billion is a vastly optimistic figure for Microsoft based on the current market. But, if they successfully pitch it to the middle classes as the ultimate entertainment hub the investment will be worth it.

And this kids is why you don't believe anything you read on the internet. Not even this.

People forget that E3 is for games reveals.

Edited by Skitzy Skitzo: 5/30/2013 4:22:16 AMDon't some major titles (GTA IV) cost up to and over a hundred mill now? I get that Microsoft is not completely responsible for developer cost decisions and such but is 1 Billion really that much in the grand scheme of things? I'm being serious. I don't really understand certain worlds and Microsoft/Developer costs to profits is one of them.
