Whats all the bitching about? I couldn't register certain user names in MMOs when i was into them because of some stupid filter. Big deal.

@Bluecell: what they deserve and what they're worth are two different things. I don't think the big name actors deserve the million even though they are clearly worth it.

@trippo: see Tiber's comment about how many days that actually works out to, during which he could've had a part time job.

Well they should educate her, and her friends should help her with her confidence. This isn't a huge deal. Fat people are made fun of at school constantly, yet people think the real tragedy is when a computer game tells a healthy girl she's fat... Ok there... At lest she actually isn't fat.

@Bluecell: I'm not saying that Hollick want more money. I'm just saying that the comparison of movie actor vs voice actor is a flawed one. They are more like a session musicians. They get paid for their time. Their talent does not directly contribute to an increase in sales, that is just the nature of video games.

@Bluecell:

@p_hon: @ I know so incredibly outrageous! Everyone who ever had anything to do with GTA4 should at least get $1,000,000 since they're selling so many copies, even the janitors!

@Arttemis: Well I was thinking that if someone was willing to pay a $200 premium for a special edition console, then he/she must be REALLY (I mean REALLY) into games. The person must also have money to burn.

So these will be the first PS3s sold at a profit? :p

so much for people thinking GTA would sell better on PS3 because of its PS heritage

OMFG the Wii outsells both the 360 and the ps3 by a factor of 4??? WOW just wow. Guess Mario kart really was a system seller, though it might just be increased availability in general. Congrats Nintendo.

@ostartero: Oops I misread your comment. I read "lost" as "has". My bad

@ostartero: Yeah except the WHOLE DIVISION (including PS2) is losing bn's.

@CCCombobreaker: well I'm talking about their gaming division.

Well that counts R&D as well which will pay off in later years. I believe that they're almost breaking even on the manufacturing costs though, Either way it's going to be tough to recoup their initial loss (not as tough as MS's Xbox division loss)

@CCCombobreaker: PC gamers didn't either till they started charging them.

@KidU: huh? Xbox owners pay a subscription and microtransactions are taking off on all consoles. PC gamers are the ones that are not willing to pay to play online games (at least for non-mmo's).

@GTshane: You might be able to convince people on Kotaku that that is the truth, but good luck doing the same on GT forums, the people there are rabid fanboys who's comments generally lack any form of intelligence.

bah, WWII is sooooo 1945

ninja gaiden 2.. wtf, so how can we trust this chart now?
