Grand Theft Auto IV’s First Week Sales: $500mm and 6mm Units
- slater 18y agowhat's an "mm"? mega millions? :D
- aneesh 18y agoMM is actually just millions ... it's a weird Roman numeral thing.
- slater 18y agoMM in roman numerals would be 2000
- xirium 18y agoMM in Roman numerals is 2000. Perhaps the double M is to distinguish between mille (1,000) and million (1,000,000). Cue discussion about short and long form billions and use of dots and commas as numeric seperators.
- Novash 18y agoMillions would be M with a slash above the letter. I don't think we can make slashs above letters with any encoding, though.
- xirium 18y agoNo, mm is the internationally recognised scientific unit for millimetres. A mega-million would be denoted by a single capital M. Of course, this raises the question of the use double capital M.
- Novash 18y agoI somehow believe that he used double 'm' to signify plural.
- rrival 18y agoI wonder what Rockstar would do with a persistent GTA universe a-la WOW.
- rms 18y agoGod, I don't think I'd ever leave the house, that would be much better than real life.
