Glad to hear positive feedback about TR3. Hope it makes it on time! Also glad to hear that the time taken in Daikatana seems to be paying off. Unfortunately, Sin and Half Life also continue to get pushed back. Looks like the FPS market is going to be a tough one come x-mas. Bleeker, regarding the success of Commandos and our earnings, I am not at all surprised. If expectations were to sell half of the eventual 250,000 units, we only received a bonus of 125,000 units in sales. Even if profit per additional unit was around $15, we would only be looking at around $1.7M extra profit, contributing around a dime a share. If you average our two EPS estimates, and then take a dime off of it, it still appears that we came out ahead by a bit. And development costs must really be huge. I was quite pleased with the number. I expect this quarter to be much worse, though our back-catalog is really getting strong. I wonder if Commandos could be ported to the PSX? Would it be worthwhile?
