I'm kinda confuse here. I always thought company want a game to be front loaded to make as much profit as possible. How can anyone in their straight mind believe that Legs is better then Front Loaded?


who said that legs is more profitable?


People are implying that legs are more imprtant.  Read through the thread.  A shitstorm of people whining, complaining, downplaying, etc.  Just ignore this entire thread if I was you.

for long term sales legs can be more important, but sales isn't what bonkers is talking about... he's talking about profitablility 

btw thats advice you could take yourself very often

I'm talking about profits as well.  I'm saying it is better to sell 7m out of your 10+m iwhile it is at full retail than to get around 4-5m at full retail and then drop it to bargain big pprice for the next 5m.  You know like maximizing your profits?  that's all I'm saying. Both games sell amazingly well, I'm just saying if I was in a business I'd take Halo for this reason a long with others.

You know you continue to interpret me wrong in almost every thread :P

...that has absolutely nothing to do with what i asked bonkers

 he implied people said its more profitable for a game to have legs than be front loaded 

my point was that no one said so... how does what you're saying relate to that?

edit: the ironic thing so far is that your posts in reply clearly suffer from major misinterpretation

Don't remember being able to shoot things in Gt5....What about a BO2 vs Halo 4 seems like a fair better comparison.


In any case, it would be a Halo 4 vs Killzone, Uncharted, Resistance, or whatever exclusive FPS that Sony has released recently, I honestly don't know...

(I blame the lack of ads by Sony, at least compared with what MS do...)

I guess I'm just a little confused. If you are saying legs are important well yeah lol  Having good long term sells are good and I don't see an argument about that.

I was just telling you what I meant when i was talking to him.  

Anyways I'm just completely confused now.  

I may be going way off course in what you are talking about but Halo is better for a business.  It has generated more money than Gran Turismo already probably. And in the long run Halo 4 will probably sell aroun 10-12m unless the NeXbox haults it's sells whihc could happen.

Here is all 54 stores who are selling it. As I said before, full retail.  And as I said sure a few games might have sold that were on sell which is a VERY low amount,  But you go ahead and complain bro.
