LMFAO! Are you kidding me? Why are they not just marketed as one game? You started this convo off about how SKUs and how Halo and Halo LE are separate SKU but I just told you that if someone wants the full experience,they would just buy the LE. With Pokemon, you have to buy both games to get the full experience! A game with DLC and Pokemon X/Y are not the same!
We clearly do not share the same views on this matter! There are people who buy both Pokemon X and Y. There is hardly anyone who will buy both Halo and Halo 4 LE. I never said the sales of X and Y to be separated because there are some who buy X and some who buy Y. I was only referring to the fact that people actually buy both games and that it wouldn't be fair to compare them to a game like Halo. You completely missed what I was trying to say. Good job and good night!

By marketed do you mean, why isn't there just one version of the game? I was using this definition of "marketed": advertise or promote (something), which they are, indeed advertised and promoted as one game. And no, you don't have to buy both games to get the full experience. I can get all the pokemon with only owning one game if I tried hard enough. I don't need to buy a second version. Yes, it's easier, but that doesn't mean I "need" it. Also, there are many fans who by a limited edition because they're collectors. That was microsoft's targetted audience with Halo 4.
“A Game of the Year Edition of Halo 4 will be offered this October, offering tremendous value for fans who want to enjoy one of the most critically acclaimed games of 2012, and additional DLC all in one place.We will have more details to share during the live stream of the Halo Global Championship Finals this Sunday.”
If somebody is a halo fan, certainly they would have had Halo 4 the year before the limited edition was released.
