Try another strawman, since that is not the context of the hard work comments.

"MS and Sony haven't worked hard, Bobby Kotick did all the hard work."

"I'm sorry, who's delivered a 10M seller every year for MS?

MS or Activision?"

I think it's pretty obvious what context his "hardwork" comments are in.

Then why leap from Halo and Call of Duty to Wii Play, when the context didn't relate to that game?

Because he's obviously trying to say more sales = more hard work put into it.

Hence why he brings sales into it in the first place.

A certain group of people seem to be reaaaaally upset this week for some reason. Wonder why. It's been like it for the past 3 Months or so really :/

Damn those NGage fans...they never give up!



Recon1O1 on 23 September 2010

Maybe I bought into the hype but I expected better SW and HW nos. from Reach.  Walk in sales were half of pre-orders?  That seems low.  HW would have been 75- 80k without it so why, with a lot of people reporting the bundles sold out, did it only sell an additional 70k?  Doesn't make sense unless they only made that many or sent thousands to areas where they just weren't wanted.  Maybe there will be another small boost next week as people find one online or track down a shundle in the wild.  Sorry!

I knew SW wouldn't hit my expectations when EMEAA was a bit off yesterday.  Still 4m is what it is and my 12.5 LT guess still looks possible.  I only own a 360 and I'm not saying this to denigrate the franchise obviously.  Maybe not having the Master Chief or the prequel status did hurt but the September release and job losses in NA contributed.  Poor Bungie, hope the $240m covers payroll.  Still it nixes the nonsense that Halo was in decline and couldn't move HW.  Why were three early posters expecting an adjustment downward and not up?  Wishful thinking sorta like me I guess.

I just like to point out the fact that <5 years of 360 in the US = 5 years of xbox WW

What are you talking about....It takes alot of effort & time into puting out a-half game with last gen graphics!!!


Well making it something that appeals to over 20 million people still can't be that easy (or else it would be replicated by third parties), even if the other games still took a lot more effort.

or simply throw in the main first party controller for free...
