The bigger the marketing blitz, the worse the product
Authored by: OpenSourceFTW on Friday, October 12 2012 @ 07:46 PM EDT
The reason is probably because the bigger the hype, the less chance the product
has of living up to it.

It makes perfect sense. Look at politics (especially the debates). Candidates
generally want to kind of downplay how well they expect to do so that they do
not get slammed afterwards for not living up to expectations.

And no, that is not a signal to start a political argument below this post. NO
POLITICS.

Is this a sign of desperation?

How about Samsung?
Authored by: Anonymous on Saturday, October 13 2012 @ 12:52 AM EDT
It struck me while out shopping, 4,6,8 years ago there were posters and
billboards everywhere for iPod or iPhone. Now they are all for Samsung
phones and tablets. So on your theory Samsung is rubbish?
Does not compute. Another take is that Apple doesn't need to
advertise now, they can't keep up with demand. Windows 8
advertising is almost invisible in New Zealand. Is that because
MS too cannot keep up with demand?
