They will bundle it with a game that more suites the audience for Natal. That is if they have learned anything from what Nintendo did with Wii Sports.
Halo reach wont come bundle seeing as it is the next big step in the Halo series, which I'm guessing will not incorporate Natal. Then again I could be wrong.
It would be interesting to see if a game as hard as say, Ghost N Goblins, sold more or less depending on its difficulty.
Remember when there wasn't even a difficulty setting?
"They're entire attitude and business tactics as of late have been piss poor and downright unacceptable"
No one can disagree with that.
800,000 copies sold in just 2 weeks in Japan isn't big enough for you?
Do some research:
"The company expects 2.0 million units of Monster Hunter Tri worldwide, with the North American and European versions still due out this year."
2 Million Worldwide! expected, just in japan in 2 weeks it is almost at 800,000.
"U get poor sales is the outcome."
Do some research.

" I think only the very small group of extremely hardcore fans went out and bought a wii for this."
Is that why thousands of Wii owners stood outside in line for days before its release in Japan?
i have to agree. The stage is already set. the petition means nothing.......right now. If sales are lower than projective from executives, than expect something to change.
Besides this is a double edge sword...by not buying the game you are actually affecting the developers more than the big wigs of Activision.
I really hope Activision would change, but if it is at the developers expense, then Im not for that, because the devs did nothing wrong.
That bicycle is ridiculous!
is there anything going on inside the unit gamers dont know of?
this is actually smart, why go through production costs for the pro when others are buying the arcade or elite more.
ha smack has a point
Sad too because Blizzard used to be so player friendly with their decisions. Activision is going to run Blizzard's long term quality into the ground.
EA is starting to step it up atleast in my book, they seem to do some new ip's such as Dead Space and Mirror's Edge, and are not doing shovelware on Wii. I feel they are doing quite well in supporting all the consoles.
How does Pachter not understand that the public likes a good deal? And Best Buy's new program looks to be just that.
I'm honestly getting tired of developers saying this. If this was true why has no developer been able to outshine Metroid Prime 3 on the system?
Monster Hunter 3 looks like it could finally do that, but we shall see about Final Fantasy.
Dual analogue has always been clunky, especially when comparing this generation games to most of its pc counterparts such as fps, third person shooters, etc. Dpad can not even do 3d. Motion controls are just the next step. Get used to it.
Tiger Woods for Wii
If studios and publishers understood gaming more, studios wouldn't be goign under. What studio, that makes exclusively Wii games have closed? None there is a reason behind this. Hell even High Voltage Softwar...
You act as though shovelware was created this gen.
Core gaming is shrinking, if it wasn't then hd console studios wouldn't be going under and being replaced by independent developers who are now making app games for iphone.
Hell flash games also helped pc gaming make a comeback.
Motion controls are just an evolution of control in gaming. If there was no evolution you wouldn't even have dual analogue or a dpad before that.
Comments like that are the reason why core gaming is dying.
People hated the Ds when it first hit the scene and everyone from journalists to analysts thought the psp would kill it. Look what happened there. The Wii is on the same path. Negative press is usually people not reading the market correctly.
I remember people saying that the itunes music would nto help piracy and that people wouldn't want to buy digital distribution.
Game sounds good. I'd have to root for Shy Guy being playable. What an under-rated character. Then again so is Goomba.
2D Mario would be good.
They are going to rape this franchise into the ground, much like Mario.
I'm expecting them to do many spin offs with this franchise, I'm not knocking the franchise as it is a very fun multiplayer game, but I'm worried they will start messing with what is working for the franchise. I myself would not want to see a third person Halo for instance, but I feel in the future it will happen.
