You really nailed that one for me. There is no way in hell I would just tell my friends, "Oh, did you know i'm a semi-active user on Giantbomb.com, the world's largest editable video game database?". Nor would I discuss the inner workings of an Xbox, or why Halo: Reach should really be class based. I would, on the other hand, sit down for some splitscreen ODST or something of that ilk.

" So, 10 million copies @ $50 for the first, say, 5 million and $25 for the last 5 million = roughly $375,000,000. That's only ballparking it, of course, but still plenty o' dough. "
You're forgetting that some of those are limited and Legendary editions. "
Oh God, I am! Maybe somewhere in the area of $450 Million then, not to mention DLC maps, which is probably about 5 million @ $15, which is another $75 million. 
 
My new estimate is somewhere around $525 million. 
 
Jesus, they could have made a 3d James Cameron movie for that kind of cash.

- Making the screen turn red when the character is hurt, or making an absurd beeping noise. This was one of my main problems with ODST, though the rest I liked.  
 
- I personally think that more games should be in first person. Third-person functionality is fine too, (Oblivion) but i'm tired of dealing with cameras. That's soooooo ps1.

Surely there has to be a reason for this. Can it be that the younger folks side left and are consequently more Internet savvy? "
I have to say, i'm young, i'm internet-savvy, and I side Republican . Not trying to prove you wrong, i'm just one guy, but i'm just throwing that out there. In fact, I agree with you.

That's how they get elected, once they are in office, they can vote however they want (unless they want to get reelected). Plus, that's why it's generally a good idea to side with a party you agree with.

It's possible he might have just been looking at some info from a few years ago. A few years ago, possibly even when the ps3 was released, it was right up there with PCs, but PCs keep getting upgraded while the ps3 stays the same. I don't know though, i've never been a big PC gamer. Or a small PC gamer, I guess...

Wow, um, no. I actually never have had a RROD, thank god, and mine has been running for around a year and a half. What are you guys doing to get so many RROD? 
 
 
 
Edit: What the hell Giant bomb? Now, like 3 days after posting this, I now have the RROD and no warranty, just in time for X-mas. I should have never posted on this topic.
