Sales, not profit. I wonder what production and marketing costs were. They will still make a fortune.

I'd expected Halo 2 to be getting that lot of money.

How Did they create such a buzz before it even came out ?

As you can see, I'm sure Bill Gates was running low on cash and had to come up with something else. So he decided to try other ventures as well.

A couple bucks here and there, you know it all adds up.

I'd love to be in video game production...

I'm hampered by the fact that I don't even know where to begin. I programmed a text game in Basic back in 1983, but that's the extent of my experience with it...
