MW2 SELLS 7 MILLION COPIES IN DAY ONE
This article interests me in many ways. I myself had bought a copy of modern warfare 2 not thinking anything about the sales. The way they advertised for modern warfare 2 was great. The reason I am writing about this because of how people and companies etc come up with new advertising ideas and plots everyday. Giving someone a bite of a slice of pizza and then taking it away is basically what infinity ward did with call of duty modern warfare 2.
In a way I think that Trey Arch and call of duty WAW helped with the release of modern warfare 2. This is because of the fact that many people including myself were disappointed with the gameplay of WAW. So many call of duty players had gone back to call of duty 4 because of their dislike to the game. As time went on people had gotten tired of the call of duty online gameplay including myself which kept people wanting for more and that is where modern warfare 2 came into action. In conclusion there is many ways people use to advertise for modern warfare 2 now a days and this is one of them.
IPHONE TO BE RELEASED IN KOREA
This article stood out to me because of the following reasons. 1) The fact that Korea, China, and Japan are more technologically advanced then the world in a way and them having a later release date for the iPhone then other countries and 2) The control the Korea communications committee has over Korea.
In the beginning of the article it shows how the communications committee had to approve the iPhone before it was released in Korea. This somewhat shows a type of dictatorship in my book because of the fact that they are taking away peoples rights to buy certain objects which can be bad because we have rights to do certain things. Also the idea that Most asian countries like mentioned in the first paragraph are honestly the most technological advanced in the world. The iPhone being released late in South Korea as the title just shocked me and that is why i had to write about this article, it jumped out at me.
