Tutorial levels essentially replaced having in-game manuals and I think it was either EA or Activision that started the whole trend towards this.

Might have been a Madden or Call of Duty game to be exact.

I can remember where it stated the figures but making and printing manuals doesn't really provide any real savings considering the costs for most decent video games is in the $10-$30 million range and manuals themselves only cost around the $30,000 to low $100,000 range.
