I mean, [look at] Crysis 2: great game, but there's no way it came anywhere close to recouping its dev costs."
i find this hard to believe honestly.
also, Homefront did do well. it didn't meet the initial expectations, which is why it was percieved to do badly, but it sold a very good amount. they got nailed with bad reviews but it's sequel still is one of the few games THQ is still working on.
and BF3 was by every measure a big success, not "okay." EA's absolutely thrilled with the numbers that game has put up. suggesting that's just okay is... very, very wrong. Battlefield, Halo, and COD all sell incredibly well. suggesting any of those are just okay is just.... wrong.
the most basic reason why you can tell he's exaggerating is simple - sequels. you don't go HEY LET'S MAKE A SEQUEL on a loss.
