Equivalent over time, I'd agree (though I specifically was not
comparing them -yet- to the biggest of summer blockbusters). I was
speaking in terms of total generated revenue, per product. I also
should have qualified and just said box office, since DVD/VHS swells
movie industry figures way above games industry figures both as an
industry and in terms of the largest individual products.
