Damn lol. First it sells less than Halo 3 and Halo:Reach, and now it's already getting a price drop?

Bomba.

Wonder how much money Halo 4 even made them when they get rid of all the marketing/development price. Halo 3 cost $60 overall, and according to Microsoft Halo 4 cost them more than any other first party game so far, so I'm guessing Halo 4 cost 100 million overall. So far the game has only made 220 million. Microsoft probably made less with Halo 4 than they wanted. Straight bomba.

Amazon always does this a few weeks ago borderlands 2 was $30. It won't last long.

$220/100 = 120% profit*

Seems successful to me.

Never heard of sales before? Nearly every big game that was released this year has been on sale for $25 or less at some point in the last month.

A real test of a man is if he is willing to scrape a sharpened razor up and down his junk just to please a woman.

The gaming industry is in a funny state if "only made" and "220 million" are in the same sentence.

This is a permanent price drop, not temporary. Notice how there isn't a "$59.99" that's struck out about above the $39.99.

$220/100 = 1.22 = 122% profit

Seems successful to me.

edit: Ya, I suck at math.
Assuming Microsoft get's all the $220 and they don't have to give some to MTN Dew or Doritos. Not sure.

Indeed, this makes the rest of the post questionable. Everything else might be right, but you dun goofed on this one, OP.

For those looking to vent, get proper advice, or give it to those in need.

Amazon takes a lot of hits to try and attract new and repeat customers. It goes something like this: Take a bit of a loss on Halo 4 and get those people hooked on Amazon.

The people who charge to play the Xbox online. That'd mean they'll eventually be putting the ma... On sale...

I remember that Skyim was in the 2011 Steam Christmas sale for at least 33% off at one point.

Newegg had it for $50 + free shipping and no tax before its release.

A competitive players main goal is to win.
A casuals main goal is to have fun regardless of whether that results in a win or loss.
It has nothing to do with individual skill or knowledge, it has to do with the reason you play.

Well of course, Matchmaking is broken so you shouldn't pay the full price for broken/unfinished product.

We are in the month of December two weeks from Christmas.

  • 12.09.2012 1:01 AM PDT

Yeah, what would a marketer have to gain by having a sale?

  • 12.09.2012 1:13 AM PDT

I think that's just for Christmas, I could be mistaken though.

Off Topic, but isn't Halo 3 still around $20?

It's not a sale. If it were a temporary sale, it waould say:List Price: $59.99
Sale Price: $39.99
You save: $20.00 (33%)


This is a price cut.
