The Matrix on Xbox First
According to IGN Xbox good ole Microsoft was kind enough to loan Interplay $5 million big ones in exchange for Shiny’s masterpiece "The Matrix" to be an Xbox exclusive title for the first 6 months that it is released. Besides being an exclusive, the Xbox’s version will also have a few extra features shoved into it. Reports also say that Interplay will spend a half a million to create the online features for the Xbox version of The Matrix. Interplay must has some very deep pockets, besides paying that $500,000 for online features, they have to pay $5 to $7 per unit of Xbox software as their royalty to Microsoft. You can be on the look out for The Matrix game no more then 3 months after The Matrix 2 hits movie theaters, later this summer.Source: http://xbox.ign.com/
