I somehow doubt that Halo 2 cost only $10 million to develop.Assuming conservatively that Microsoft gets about half of that, the company nets $37.5 million in revenue. Microsoft has said it spends $5 million to $10 million to develop a game, meaning that the company will ultimately net between $27.5 million and $32.5 million on preshipped games alone.

I don't know if there was really any point in Nintendo pushing the GC this year. There's just too much out there to compete with, and they know that they don't have the guns to do it. Why waste money pushing something that won't sell?SolidSnakex said:The GC is just in really bad shape this holiday. Nintendo really needed to do some top notch compaigning with MP2 since it's their biggest title this holiday and they never did. Some thought the beating they've been taking by Sony and MS earlier this year has been bad but this holiday seems like its going to even be worse.
And how much is that comparing to other über games? Anyone know how much MGS2 costed?Deku Tree said:I remember reading somewhere last week that it cost approximately $20 mil to develop.

I think they're making a decent attempt at finishing strong. It starts with Resident Evil 4 and ends with Zelda, with Geist, Advance Wars, and the rest in between. Their problem was that they had probably expected an MP2/RE4 double shot to kick it off, and they kind of got fucked over for the holidays. Let's face it - neither of those games is going to do it on their own. And that's probably why they went with the Mario Kart bundle over staying with the Metroid Prime bundle - when they can't sway the older gamers, they're probably better off trying going after whatever is left over.SolidSnakex said:puck, I just think they should atleast do something. Zelda's going to be coming out in the middle of next year and it basically seems like they aren't going to do anything till then.

There seems to be some buzz in the Xbox camp this week. I'm not sure why.
