Microsoft went too far with the Halo 3 marketing.

They pushed it all so far that the hype is, unfortunately, going to die an almost instant and horrible death. The Halo 2 launch was done right. This launch is going to be just another joke source for Letterman and Leno.myxylplyx

MSFT stock having the biggest one day increase in years disagrees with you.

At the risk of getting suspended or whatever I'm gonna have to call you out on this one. First of all Halo 3 has somewhere in the ballpark of 2 million pre-orders. That's more than Halo 2 had. Second, the fact that Microsoft has spent so much money marketing Halo 3 will almost surley make it even more successful than Halo 2. And last, It's predicted that Halo 3 may push Microsofts gaming division into slight profitibility and after losing about a billion dollars in rapairing consoles is no small feat.Locke562

OK, however you want to spin it.

Here is CNBC's (a business/investing channel) Halo 3 launch center. Marketing a failure? these folks all disagree.

Not even a little bit.

I agree. Exploiting all those war veterans, making them relive their nightmares all over again for the sake of profit. :(

Subjective comparison. Being used by Internet analysts of late due to the sales level in 24 hours.
