Well it would be a bad idea from a revenue point of view... but if I was MS Id go for the kill.  Bundle the thing free with the next xbox.

MS are being way too charitable at the moment. I honestly believe it is in MS's hands to do some serious damage to their competitors at the moment, especially sony.  Drop the price for the 360 now, launch the nextbox asap and realistically they could cause some very very serious damage to an ailing company.  Not neccessarily a good thing for consumers but a very good thing for MS.

It [bundling Halo 4 for free] seems to be the only realistic scenario, if they want to go for the kill. Since the 360 and PS3 were basically dependent on each other after both had a slow start, nobody really outdid the other, because virtually everything went multiplatform. If Microsoft wants to damage Sony, they need to build a large enough userbase to justify exclusive development for their platform.

i think Next Gen will be interresting, and i guess that bundling Halo with the next Console might be worth alot - but i wonder what they do with the Media games are shipping on. I 'Think' Sony may have the Edge over Microsoft, since Blu Ray is futureproof, due to massive ammount of Storage (dunno if those 400gb enabled BRs were just shittalk tho') but yeah, microsoft has to invent, while Sony can stay with what they have right now.

But it wouldnt be Microsoft if they dont come up with something, no?
