"(Sidenote: Most gamers don’t cling daily to sites like HaloWaypoint or the Ubi Blog to notify them of weekly fixes, workarounds, and known issues. Most gamers buy a broken game and are simply confused and angered that it doesn’t work.)"
This seems stupid, but I was talking to a friend that has an Xbox One and recently bought Halo: MCC. It was a couple of days after the update that was supposed to help fix everything, but we still weren't finding a match. You know what his rationale was? "I guess nobody is playing". It sounds stupid, but it isn't. For someone who doesn't go on gaming websites, who doesn't know the hype of the games coming out, and who expects something to work properly when you buy it, this is a pretty rational explanation. All I'm trying to say is that sending out a broken product is a pretty fucking ridiculous idea to the average gamer. And you know what, we should think the exact same damn way.
I bet the Wii U would sell more than 15M LTD by the end of 2015. He bet it would sell less. I lost.
