A problem with the games industry right now is that the top 25 games each

The rest of the top 25 selling several hundred thousand. Many of the rest
often lose money. This is turning the games industry
the time to get into it. Those games are very few and far between,

That is depressing. Is that standard across the industry right now? I can't
think of many titles selling 250,000 units in today's
is making fewer games but more
revenue: 2000 = 68 SKUS with $1.3B in revenue, 2002 = 58 SKUs with $2.5B

Hugh, comments?
