<<Hey, did anyone notice that Chris a.k.a. gofrank was off by just a penny? For lack of any other serious competition, I declare him winner of the earnings guessing contest that we didn't have and he is entitled to Sigmund's dim sum if Sigmund backs out of the Bay area trip.>> Dim Sum...yum.. Actually, it was a lot of dumb luck - sort of anwyay. I was 10% short on revenues, but made up for it by underestimating COGS, royalties, and selling expenses. The net effect of these was that my operating profit was off by only $50,000 or so...thats dumb luck. My impression is that they shipped a heck of a lot more NWO than I expected, which means they probably shipped much less than the 125000 of quest that has been discussed - or else my total % from N64 would have been further off. The fact that 48+ pct came from wcw is another clue that it was huge. With NWO accounting for most of that and N64 pct at 43% of revenues, it doesn't leave much quest shipped in the quarter at all. Am expecting a huge 4q. if farrel says they meet or exceed, i anticipate a crushing. He must already have a feel for Revenge...gonna be huge. Am working up 4q estimates now....am having a hard time with Rugrats quantities. My low end is 175,000 or so, depending on when its released. Still dont know how hot it will be on psx. Just how high could it go? Chris
