最初傳出 Xbox 為小島秀夫的《PHYSINT》投入約 4 億美元,這個說法後來已被修正。後續報導稱,Xbox 的承諾金額遠低於此數,但沒有公布可查證的合約價格。Xbox 近期也宣布裁員、進行業務重整,不過現有報導並未證實這些裁員是為《PHYSINT》籌資。215
4 億美元的說法從何而來?
《The Game Business》記者 Christopher Dring 最初報導《PHYSINT》的預算約為 4 億美元,之後則澄清,Xbox 實際支付的金額可能低得多。其他援引知情人士的報導也指出,這筆交易遠低於 4 億美元。215
一種可能的解釋是,4 億美元原本是小島秀夫先前與 Sony 洽談時提過的金額,而不是 Xbox 合約中的數字。不過,這只是報導提出的可能來源,並未證實它曾是已簽署的預算或合約金額。1215
這個區別很重要:洽談時提出的金額、發行商承諾投入的款項,以及遊戲最終開發成本,並不能直接畫上等號。由於合約財務條款尚未公開,目前也無法確認 Xbox 的總體支出或財務風險。210
Xbox 的交易據報包含哪些內容?
報導指出,合作內容據稱包括《PHYSINT》相關的電影與電視權利,以及改善小島製作(Kojima Productions)另一款 Xbox 合作遊戲《OD》的合作條件。不過,合約並未公開,相關權利的具體範圍、歸屬與價值也尚未確認。79
若報導內容屬實,這項安排可能不只涉及單款遊戲的資金與發行。但在沒有合約明細或已確認的財務資料前,仍無法據此判斷 Xbox 如何估值這些權利,或它們會如何影響整體成本。79
