I hear back a few years ago they spent $15 million for a game. i forget what game it was, but now, companies are spending 5 times or more than that. CRAZY how much of an increase in only a few years.

Other senceless facts. I also read that it costs $11 to make an xbox controller so that is probobly where they brake profit. Accessories and games.
