There are no extra costs relative to PC DLC. It costs the same amount to make PC DLC as console DLC besides whatever sony/microsoft charge. Bandwidth is not magically more expensive for consoles. Sony/Microsoft don't have to charge anymore than exactly what the bandwidth costs them.

Ok. Mind actually explaining how I'm wrong?



First, just because they don't HAVE to doesn't mean they don't. Why would you sell something at cost. You don't make money that way. That's terrible business.

Second, they don't just make a character and move on. It's not like "Okay, we're gonna make Ryu in the first thirty days, be done, and then make Ken." Making characters is a continuous process that lasts damn near the entire development process, because they're constantly tweaking and refining them for balance. Once you have the balance you want achieved, it's hard to fit something new into that without then tweaking what already exists. They don't just finish the on-disc roster, then go "Welp, everything's done, now we can just cut and paste Cody and Guy in."

You are really, really uninformed.
