In Response To: Re: New Bungie Jobs (PC) (Grenadiac)

: As far as having a "dual launch", I seriously doubt MS would want
: to dent Xbox 360 sales by launching a PC version of Bungie's next game
: along with the 360 version. I know there are probably many people out
: there that would probably buy a 360 just to play Halo 3. MS certainly
: knows this as well.

Actually a dual launch would make microsoft more money. I really don't understand your reasoning behind this at all.

Look at it this way: There's 100 people who own PC's, 25 people who own both PC's and 360's, and 50 people who own 360's.

That's 150 people altogether. [The 25 who own both are only there to confuse you.]

If Microsoft only published the game on 360, then you have 50 people who will buy it. If microsoft publishes it for PC as well, you now have 150 people who will buy it.

If each version of the game sells for 1 dollar you make 50 dollars on xbox alone, 100 dollars on PC alone, and 150 dollars with both of them together.

Am I somehow missing the part where Microsoft and Bungie lose money?
