Stupid Reporting

I heard this mentioned on "Marketplace Morning Report" this morning, and now I see it on the WaPo site, by way of Reuters.  "Halo 3 sales exceed $170 million on first day, 'more than any movie debut'."

 

Ummmm, yeah, even in the big cities I don't think movie tickets have quite reached $60 each.

 

Apples and oranges much?
