Are you seriously saying that MS is not being selfish by releasing only halo and not other IPs?
Tell you what, what do you think of XBL charging $60? Is that selfish or is it for the greater good as well? To label everything a corporation does as something selfless is ridiculous. Majority of the people don't have gold. Is that how MS satisfies its majority?
I am sure a lot of people enjoy kinect. However I am equally sure not many asked for it.
And kinect hasn't even sold much in the last couple of months. What happened? Did people stop asking for it? Or is it related to something else?
So halo ODST didn't sell as much because it was similar to halo 3....hmmm....doesn't compute. So because it was similar to halo 3 it sold less...what?
You realize halo 3 : odst saw a huge rise in sales when Reach beta was live right? Because reach beta required you to have a copy of odst. People bought a full game for a beta. Yep. Even though it was similar.
And please, its good you didn't bring activision again.

No other IPs. What about Forza? What about Fable? What about Gears? What about Kinect Sports? Kinect Adventures? Dance Central? I could go on and on. Just because because YOU don't want them, doesn't mean plenty of people don't.
Why do you keep going off topic? We are talking about Halo being milked. Where did I label everything a corporation does as being selfless? I am talking about what MS is doing with Halo. I never mentioned what MS does with XBL. But since you mention it, yes, MS are being greedy with XBL prices.
You say you are equally sure not many people don't want Kinect. That's funny considering Kinect will likely go on to cross 20million units. I don't see why you can't accept that MS is providing Kinect because consumers want it. They think it's fun. If they didn't, they wouldn't buy it. Like I said, MS CANNOT satisfy everyone. They are doing their best to satisfy as many people as possible.
Kinect hasn't sold much in the last few months. What's your point? This a naturall occurrence with any game that's been out for a while. Sales go down. I don't know what you're trying to prove.
As far as I know, ODST is just an overpriced DLC. It's called Halo 3: ODST for crying out loud! It was not a new game. |
Anyways I am tired of this argument. I am not even sure what you are trying to say, it all seems like "since it sells so much you can't say anything about it and its not milking". |
That is what I'm saying. That combined with fan reception. Milking is when you release a series so much that fans grow more tired of the series that its reception are decreased more and more. COD & Halo (excluding ODST & Halo CEA since I don't consider them to be main titles in the series) follow this rule.
It doesn't matter anyway. It seems we have differing definitions of the word 'milking'. the term milking isn't a defined term anyway. We would likely find ourselves arguing over the word 'milking' rather than if games are actually being milked or not, which is what my original question was about.
Anyway, the term 'milking' is subjective. I guess it depends on how much you want from a franchise.
