Nevermind all the other marketing for Halo 5, which has been huge. Nevermind a world premier commercial during Sunday Night Football last week. This tame marketing ploy using UFC fighters, that signifies a smaller investment in marketing by MS. And more so, a potential packing up of the division as they shut down console business and switch to PC. Oh and it also explains why they're "hiding" Xbox numbers in another division.... even though Xbox has always been lumped with other stuff and it's always been impossible to tell what it's doing exactly. I have seen the light. It reminds me of one of the threads we had here when ASM2 was supposedly delayed at retail or maybe not coming at all and lots of people were convinced that "it was beginning" and this was but the first of many canceled games and end of support from companies for the Xbox One. It is hilarious to read though. |
I had to reread your comment but yes, you make total sense. I think honestly, the mistake that their marketing maes is thinking that their fanbase at large and the Halo fanbase are a bunch of agro teen boys. Its not. I think that Halo opening movie is all the advertising they need. Microsoft is rich but being so means that they can go for those 'throw everything at it and hope somethig sticks' advertizing campaigns. They need to slow down and be more surgical with their marketing. Sony are MASTERS at it.
