@fig56: More like Sony exclusive, if Nier does well and MS does not still have Scalebound under contract.

@sirdan357: Well for one because Sweeny himself said it but ok then here some reference. Witcher 3, cost about 80mil to produce/market made about 62m profit in 2015 alone and that game is on a grander scale then gears has ever been.

We know GOW1 hit its sales out of the park with 100m in profit from a 12m budget. But what about GOW4? Sweeny said at least 100m to make but MS does not want to share any financials about it. So in almost 10 years Gears budget has ballooned to almost 10x its size for a game whose scale is not 10x what it was in '06. If you compare that to W3 how can you not say that's bloated.

AAA budgets are definitely unnecessarily bloated.

@timetraveler_x: That will work about as well as a change.org petition.

Eh just wait a about a year and a half for the Switch pro with pascal.

@bbq_R0ADK1LL: Nice glass half full attitude but unless big markets like the U.S. offer faster speeds(no caps) for reasonable prices, game streaming will stay on the fringe.

@DEATHWlSH: True enough but 30mil in less than a month that cost what? 1-3mil to produce? Well that is the mobile gaming market for ya.

@dlaney34: That is exactly what MS is going to do.

Any of that swag "iconic"? Well at least ubi has not yet followed EA and release a CE without the game.
