I speak one language (invested in HAS, though not as massive as I have been in the past)...money.If this hype is true...show me the money (and THAT is where they all seem to start falling down when I press this issue at the offices and the start pointing to other money making items...or other things of why my pay out isn't as big as I think it should have been if all they have said was true). Well, this time I hope they DO show me the money...cause...that's what this really is all about (though outselling 2014's initial week isn't going to be about millions of copies, but many tens of thousands of copies, still should see a great dividend...right?). Let the green times roll. Microsoft really DOES show you the money.  So does Apple.  That's what I'm talking about.Edit:  (and to be clear, Microsoft doesn't claim Xbox is their major money maker either...but I GET those numbers, I don't get some of these numbers except press releases from Hasbro).</blockquote>
