Interesting little bit of news that we never really get to hear about. In an interview with the SNK CEO regarding Samurai Shodown, he explains that "a PC Download Platform" (... I guess which one), wanted an exclusive release on the condition of a pre-order of hundreds of thousands. He turned them down as he expects the game to sell millions, but either way if you look at the money involved here it is a huge amount.
Even if we are talking about 100k units sold @ $60, that $6 Million, and the CEO says "hundreds of thousands". Just shows how much money Epic are happy to throw around in order to get games exclusive to their platform. I guess it would be safe to say that Shenmue 3 is a bigger name that Samurai Shodown and at the same time, Samurai Shodowns PC release is going to be after it is released on PS4/Xbox One, which I'd assume decreases it's deal value slightly. I know we will never find out the Epic Store deal amount, but going by this it looks like it's not impossible for in to be in the tens of millions?
