Marketing: wUUUTTTT!!?? AWWW MAN!!!

 

yeah....believe it or not, thats how companies/corporations actually work...given that there are stock holders of MS that are pushing for the Xbox brand to be sold or split or whatever from the main company, I'm sure they had to work with what they were given.

So MS came out in E3 to say that they are launching in 21 countries without having their budget already in place?? So the budget was handed to them after E3... You gave me a big laugh  

that is not what he said... at all

Did you read what he said?? He said that  marketing asked for for example a "billion" than got for example a "half billion". 

Do you know that it was at E3 that Microsoft said they were launching in 21 countries. It was not said in some random show it was said first at E3...

He is implying that when they made that 21 countries projection they didn't have the "billion dollars from the directors" yet. So that is what is giving me a laugh. He is  implying that MS made such a declaration at E3 without having made research or already got the budget to be ready for 21 countries.
