Joe, I asked some people at ATVI what their take home net is on these games, but never got a straight answer. Not many companies will tell you this info, so I wasn't expecting miracles. You can figure this info out if you can estimate the number of units shipped, the average selling prices and the net revenue for the quarter. Unfortunately, this is hard to do based on a simple income statement. Quake II, in the top 5 of units shipped each month, has a higher average selling price than any of the other titles in the top five, demonstrating its staying power. Tom
