| The place where your whole argument falls down... | |
| Posted By: Louis Wu <halo@bungie.org> | Date: 4/18/02 4:54 p.m. |
In Response To: Re: Why PCDestroyer is NOT a mental midget (PCDestroyer) : Number 2: In case you have forgotten what that point is...
...is in your belief that 'milking the most bucks out of Xbox Halo' and releasing the PC version of Halo are mutually exclusive goals. THEY'RE MOSTLY DIFFERENT MARKETS. And a large chunk of the overlap (if the extremely unscientific sample shown by the members of this forum is even CLOSE to accurate) will be buying both, anyway. The number of people that would choose NOT to buy an Xbox in the future because PC Halo has been released, expressed as a fraction of all Xbox buyers, is a very, very, very small number. I'd guess two or three positions left of the decimal point. Let's look at it this way: How many people do you think are so desperate to play Halo that they'll buy it in WHATEVER form it's available, say, in August? (I don't think the PC version will be done by August - but let's say by some miracle it is.) Do you really believe that folks who've managed to hold off buying an Xbox for its first 9 months of existence would suddenly say "I"m buying one tomorrow! That's IT!" but then cancel that sale if the PC version appeared? Get real. The PC version isn't out yet because it isn't finished yet. And it's not finished because Bungie (or its agents) haven't finished it, not because Microsoft is sitting on the boxes. Man, this whole argument is starting to piss me off, it's so idiotic. | |
