]]> Comment on Jeff and Mario on Shrooms (not the kind you’re thinking of!) by waylan http://www.jeffignacio.com/2008/05/17/jeff-and-mario-on-shrooms-not-the-kind-youre-thinking-of/comment-page-1/#comment-59 waylan Wed, 23 Jul 2008 18:58:27 +0000 http://www.jeffignacio.com/2008/05/17/jeff-and-mario-on-shrooms-not-the-kind-youre-thinking-of/#comment-59 one way to adjust perspective for the difference between games and movies is the individual "ticket" cost, with a game being nearly 5x that of a film. the console is something that has long fallen into "personal ownership," so that one person commonly owns his/her own console. So, they will need their own game, rather than sharing it. hence, 500MM and counting!! Also, lack of piracy on such complex games makes it harder to bootleg the game industry, giving the companies an even more legit profit. sidenote: do you remember EA's <a href="http://www.vnunet.com/vnunet/news/2222230/ea-extends-two-deadline-yet-again ">bid</a> (still ongoing) to buy Take Two? TT believed EA was undervaluing the company, especially in regards to GTA IV's huge success. one way to adjust perspective for the difference between games and movies is the individual “ticket” cost, with a game being nearly 5x that of a film. the console is something that has long fallen into “personal ownership,” so that one person commonly owns his/her own console.
