Sell off remaining faulty consoles - check Drain channels to create mild demand - check Advertise that episodes for GTA IV are MS only - check Mislead folks by saying 'Online multiplayer is 360 only' and apologize - check Flood channels with Premiums and Elites - with small chips and bundles - right before GTA IV launch - coming I know for a fact MS saw this coming and it made a lot of sense to do this. Why? First, it generates positive press for them. Their console is in demand - and they can't keep pace - and all this right before GTA IV launch. It's funny - and it steals the attention from Sony momentarily. You'll see a major spike for 360s like they did when Halo 3 hit - only this time, they are gonna tout that they have the lowest priced consoles that will play the complete, definitive version of GTA IV. Sony can't stop this right hook, they can only hope to contain it. Not happening, son ... |
My only problem with your theory is that PR wise MS doesn't come out on top. They look foolish and beaten. Its not the way to start 2008.
