Of course he was joking! :-)) The release of CM9000 was so long ago, I bet the
Ubi Soft people don't even check CM9000 sales figures anymore. I guess 95% of
the sale happens within the first few weeks after release. Don't forget, CM is
sold via the computer games sales channels mainly... I assume, the number sold
in the "experts" chess specialist shops is very small, in comparison.

The next thing should be a small priced 2nd edition, and/or including CM9000 in
a games collection among flight simulators, racing games etc. as usual (with
CM).
