Wait... Are people seriously flipping out over 1b dollars in REVENUE annually in 4 years time?

Single games, like Guitar Hero III, Rock Band and Wii Fit, do 1b dollars in revenue. An entire games platform generating 1b annually... And it's 4 years off, by this guy's estimate? I don't see that as a big deal AT ALL.

I'm pretty sure that they mean profit...

And a game to make 1 billion revenue needs to sell 16,666,666 copies at a $60 pricetag.  so 1 billion is impressive if its revenue and just plain sick if its profit they are talking about.  And their is no game that has ever made 1 billion in profits, it would need to sell about a hundred million copies at a sixty dollar price range....so yeah 1 billion dollars is damn impressive!
