I sorta edited/formatted the chart so you could see the sale #s better. Good month for MS, especially since Brute Force came out at the very end of the month (although the game suckass ) Such a shame to see trash like Enter the Matrix clean up though.. I read today that Atari's only sold 2.5 mil of the 4 mil they shipped (analysts believe that they need to sell 4 mil to make a profit).

Anyhow, the link:

Well, that profit calculation is only valid if you include the price to purchase Shiny AFAIK, and since they'll probably be producing a couple more games for Atari I think its a bit unfair to expect their first game to pay the bill. It's like expecting Conker, Ghoulies or Kameo (whatever comes out first, don't remember) alone to pay for the 365 Million it cost MS to get their hands on Rare...
