So much for Halo 3 :P

I think the Halo series can be credited with giving developers the believe that game sales can match movie sales though!

As long as you hype it as much as a movie, stupidly large ad campaigns anyone?

Well game companies are right to have large ad campaigns, as long as at the end of the day the game is actually worth it. But at the end of the day its still going to sell the same amount because the people you are aiming the ads towards probably dont watch too much tv instaed they are playing games.
