People will likely try both demos before making a decision anyhow on which to buy, that's the real hands on experience prior to buying a video game. I love how people's comeback on this board are "you cant prove otherwise, so that means I'm right!", this is an appeal to ignorance. People have become accustomed to presenting their opinions as facts online.

LOL. Its really simple. Your argument is that August advertising can effect sales. I asked you to show it by statistics or game sales and you cant. My counter is that Live has been doing this for the past 3 yrs and its had no effect on market share or sales. Thats it. Dont try to complicate it.

People (like you) complain about the lack of info in August when there is no business reason why 2k should release info this early.
