Top-Selling Videogame Publishers Ranked

Thanks to GameSpot for their piece revealing the highest-grossing videogame publishers for 2003 so far, as taken from the U.S. Bancorp Piper Jaffray report previously excerpted on Slashdot. Although numbers "don't include the always-crucial Q4", the article notes: "Unsurprisingly, Electronic Arts is on top with nearly $600 million in sales - some 20 percent of the entire market", and Nintendo and Sony are second and third-placed, with Microsoft's game software sales currently down in fourteenth position. The report also pointed out that "...2003 has been a rough year for Activision so far. Its earnings dipped nearly $80 million compared to the same period in 2002. Take Two's numbers took a similar nose dive, sliding from $213 to $134 million."

Re:Let me do some math

[Babbster]

You got me (and whomever is proofreading at Gamespot) there. I shouldn't have to do math when reading a video game news blurb, damn it! :D

Of course, what I should be able to do is write a post without typing "Sony" where I should be typing "Nintendo."

So, if someone could knock my post down a couple points for stupidity, that would be great.
