Possible Marketing Hoax? | |
Posted By: twobyfour | Date: 11/12/03 11:01 a.m. |
Just a thought.. If Microsoft Is making an announcement about a possible "Halo 1.5" Just before Christmas. What comes to mind is that its for money making purposes. Well what if all that "Halo 2 is definitely not coming out by Christmas" is a marketing plan. Because after all Its original due date was Christmas 2003. My thoughts is that by setting a later due date keeps anticipation very high along with disappointment. By revealing that Halo 2 is coming out by Christmas afterall would therefore make excitement even higher leaving Microsoft with higher Christmas profits, than if they would have kept the date at Christmas 2003 almost a year ago at announcement. Afterall, Microsoft has already been trying to kick Playstation out and become the head of the gaming Monopoly with crazy marketing ideas(there is a book about this, and there future plans). I just seems to me that there is a chance of it happening big or small and it seems fairly logical.
