Comparing movie ticket sales, with video game sales is like comparing hookers. On one hand, you've got a nice classic mexcian $8 a pop, and on the other hand, there's the classy escorts that go for $200 a night. If they counted the number of *people* that bought the thing and the number of people that saw Star Wars, i think Sega wouldn't be boasting that much. Sigh. Apples and Oranges.

That's always true too.. But at the same time it is still part of the entertainment industry, along with music and movies and liturature(I guess).
