James,

They get paid in overseas currencies...when the dollar is weaker against those currencies, the translation results in more dollars.

for example...a trinket sold in Japan for 130 yen results in $1 in revenue when the excahnge rate is 130yen/$1....the same trinket results in $2 in revenue when the exchange rate is 65yen/$1. So a weaker dollar increases revenue when translated back to US$.
