Once GatorB finds something to argue about he sinks his teeth in like a pitbull, and will only stop once the dead horse is properly beaten.
Again,the only point here is that a game has finally topped all other forms of entertainment release for opening day profit generated INCLUDING the top first weekend grossing film of all time.
That's it, that's all.
As far as peripheral and ongoing profits, you can add new sales of XBOX 360's to the list mentioned earlier. That alone is also huge. And down the road MS will likely do the same thing they did with Halo 2 and release H3 in PC game format a few years from now and generate another wave of millions in profit.
So this game in particular has a very good shot at outstripping any and all movies made for ALL income, not just the first day or first weekend. But that in and of itself is huge. I mean who in the past 90-odd years of filmmaking ever forsaw a day when a mere game would do that? Up until now the movie has been king.
Nothing to get all "fuck you" about. :D
