[quote]At 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.[/quote] Not only that but Quantum Break is a game that is involved with a television show that you have to watch to understand the game (and when the show ends your game is dead). 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.
