Thanks for the post! VERY interesting to read.
My first love for gaming was not via Video games, but via Board games. You just posted the info for Catan, can you post the info on Carcassone?
Board game companies should pay heed. If your estimates are correct, and assuming your low end estimate of 70% profit on revenues, then Mayfair collected about $1,000,000 in profit on Catan. For a board game publisher, that is outstanding.
Now that said, I don't know (I expect to get my 360 in the next 3 months...) if mayfar simply sold the lisence for Catan to a third party who is getting the bulk of that profit, but regardless, this should show traditional board game companies that they need to get their product working on the 360 pronto!
