Yes, you're correct, XENOPHONZ. However, as an alternate example, eFrontier (or at least the former CuriousLabs) certainly didn't make the same profit margine that Autodesk made last year. 3D products/content is definitely a much more focused niche market than the products Wal-Mart or Toyota is dealing with. When Autodesk acquired Alias this year, they exposed their annual earnings, and it was in the Billions. You wouldn't think a company that sells such pricey applications would make that much profit, but they do. They also boasted around 6 million users with some of their applications, which far exceeds most lesser-priced software. Seems contradictory to the theory of 'less is more' when it comes to 3D. ;-)
