I'm kinda confuse here. I always thought company want a game to be front loaded to make as much profit as possible. How can anyone in their straight mind believe that Legs is better then Front Loaded?

The ones who prefer sony over MSFT.  

And yes it is better to have a game front lopaded because that means more profits.

I'd imagine a combination of the two is probably the best for most titles. Simply having the game sell 90% of it's total in one week puts money in the bank, but leaves little sustained income. If the game is big enough though, as is the case here with both titles, that of course doesn't matter really as the inital return will cover everything.

Disregarding profits and business etc. It's far more fun watching games with great legs leg it over milestones.

Still don't see where people are getting that Halo doesn't have legs but the reason for front loaded preferred games for companies is because the majority of the sells money is coming from full retail price instead of bargain bin price.
