| TheSource said: Hm $8 to $10 billion in software revenue then? Retailers get 10% of that...7-9 billion for game publishers. I would think Microsoft games are 1/4 to 1/3 of that software revenue...which leaves 4.8 billion to 6.0 billion for software publishers. If its 5.4 billion in software revenue, over 3.5 years that amounts to about $1.54b in third party software revenue per year. Not a tremendously big market frankly given the increased cost of development.

Until one realizes that those figures are only for the US...While Others and Japan aren't really huge for 360, combined, they do nearly match the US totals. So you're looking at nearly doubling that number when you're talking about LTD for the 360.
