I cannot agree!

The marketing people decide. Then they use known methods to make people desire the object.

Hmmmm! I am selling Spiderman this month. I wonder what items I can use to advertise my product!
Mcdonalds was usually the bigest culprit with its "FREE" toys with meals.
Now you can play the spiderman game before the film is out. How strange!
If I were a new game developer there is no way I could get my product out that fast.

Marcus.

Ps.
You just watch when Transformers comes out! Robots will be hot for a month.

Oooh we could time some shameless promotion of our chosen hobby with the release of transformers :)

At least they have a connection, unlike Robosapien and Spiderman :roll:
