I don`t get phrases like these coming from someone like a CFO....
It´s as if this guy hasn`t understood the subscription model at all. Big games/movies in subscription models aren`t meant to make back their money immediately, they are bait for people to subscribe and hopefully stay subscribed so they pay more in the long run.
That´s the bet every single subscription based model has to make. Get big enough to be sustainable or slowly die due to heavy losses.
If that bet works for MS or if they`ll have to cut down investments at some point no one knows.
I can understand that a corporation like Sony which doesn´t have pockets quite as deep as MS wouldn`t want to make such a bet though.
