Nitpick: much better to be _small_ video games. The big ones easily push into the same financial territory (for making them) as movies, and have way less avenues to monetize afterwards. (No "DVD sales", no money from the rental market, no TV deals...)


I was thinking more hours of enjoyment per $.

Sushi costs $50-100 for an hour of enjoyment.

A movie costs maybe $15 to see in theater, good for maybe 2h of enjoyment.

A $50 video game might be good for 50h of play. Maybe more.

Netflix is $10/mo for ~unlimited movies.


Sushi is $100 an hour? Where do you go for Sushi? I've been several times to an _excellent_ Sushi bar, in Los Angeles, and the worst damage I ever did was $75. And that was really trying for it. (Sidenote: gold flakes on Sushi don't add in any way to the taste, but they sure look shiny ;)
