Honestly Xboxlive is the best marketing you can have for a 360 game.
I have never seen anything like it in console gaming or even gaming.
Word of mouth sells games on the 360. Everything is so intertwined that word of mouth can make a game a huge hit or it can kill it before the full game hits the shelves. I have seen games run tv ads left and right and still fall to the waste side in under a month. If a top notch demo hits LIVE then that demo will sell the game,because Xboxlive is like a Old ladies hair salon ! Really it is ! Gaming Gossip/word of mouth is the ultimate form of marketing on the 360. Any game company that doesn't understand that by now is headed for problems with their games sales on a 360 game.
Lets pray that 1C understands that and grasps it full on. They can't afford to not release a demo and top notch Action trailers onto Xboxlive.
DESODE
