Why would the 360 port of Halo Anniversary be a showcase of the console?
You should've started with Halo 2 or Halo 4, even though that's just a port as well.

I'm not too fond of the UI either. Good thing it will change soon anyway.


My point is that none of those games would be a showcase of the console.  From that perspective, I feel that MS didn't put their best foot forward for new adopters for their latest console.  Missed opportunity on their part to include a game in the box to give a showcase to a new user.

So they should've waited even longer to release the first Halo game on the platform (ignoring Spartan Assault) and then include Halo 5 as a showcase? How much would a customer need to spend for this? $100 at the very least.

Remasters will never be more expensive to create than the original, so you shouldn't expect them to be equal to other graphical powerhouses.


Never said they should've waited to release it either.  What I am saying is that, if they were looking to get a new user to react right out of the box with "wow, look how amazing the games on this system look and play!" then they shot themselves in the foot.  If the first 30 seconds of a game have noticeable technical flaws, it isn't doing anyone any favors.  I completely understand the reasoning why they included their most popular franchise in their new system release.  However, that is clearly aimed at an existing audience, not necessarily a new one.  If it is aimed at a new one, it might not be the best move they could've made.
