Yeah, Nintendo's famous war chest is 6 billion dollars. Kind of hard to believe that they're throwing the entire thing at the project, but I guess if they remain profitable, they can make it back.
What Crash meant about the million and billion comment is actually true if you're talking about the British. 1,000,000 to the British is a "million." 1,000,000,000 is a "million million." And I believe what comes after that is billion, trillion, quadrillion etc.
However, when they talk about a billion in that article, I think they just mean nine zeros after the one. I don't know why. Maybe that "million million" term has gone out of use.
