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.

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...
