The games & entertainment division hasnt been operating on a profit since the Xbox was launched. While Halo 2 should put them into the black for this quarter, I doubt it would continue todo that.

But they did pull a nice profit on the first day, though I don't know wether to think their going to pass the $b mark.

I would be doubtfull that it could hit the billion dollar mark. Even $500 million sounds extreme. Probably should be able to judge once its been out for a few more weeks.

But I seriously doubt Halflife 2 will outsell Halo2. PC games just arent as big as console games.

I would be intrested in seeing Microsoft's numbers on its games division, but remember, the Xbox was basicly to create a brand name in the market, the Xbox 2 will be intresting.

At the rate we're seeing console sales explode, we might see the 500m$ mark.

I don't think HL2 will outsell any big console name, PC games don't have the advertising.

Cal: For the record I didn't just jump in this thread and start pre-madonna-ing. I was actually involved in the discussion. I thought you were taking things way too personal, so commented that you should chill out.

Fuck you, Cal, you angry little child.

Fuck you right back, you prickish little shit. Let Phongn split part of this to the HOS and you'll really be crying to the local denizens for support. I'm surprised you stop wanking to Neon Genesis 32X Evangelionwhatsittoya to post a reply. Fucktard.

I think I will just lock the thread instead. Consider this an offical warning to stop trolling Cal.

Two things:

1. It's bad form to lock a thread you're involved in personally to this degree. Doing so can potentially be seen as a misuse of powers by others.

2. Given your own actions in this thread, it's hardly fair to call Cal a troll just because he overreacted when Spanky told him to mellow out.

I was out of the thread for 24 hours before it was locked and what aspects I was in before it was locked had nothing to do with Cal. Cal came in flaming anyone who disagreed with him then flamed anyone who told him to calm down.

Point being?

Again, point being?

I saw two legitimate instances of Cal flaming, unless you're going by some other definition of flaming.
