Let's look at it in terms of types of people. Let us imagine that the original WM release windows went over smoothly, and that the current promotion will not be happening (free WM with purchases greater than 50 USD).
There would be the following groups of people :
Group A : Those who want to purchase the WM but are not at all interested in purchasing the new releases on Friday.
Group B: Those who are intending to buy both the WMs and the new releases!
Group C: Those not interested in WMs, but are planning to purchase the new releases.
Group D: Those neither interested in the WMs nor the new releases.
If this is the case, the only people who would have any sort of valid beef with how things turned out, would be people in Group A, as now they will have to purchase things they usually would not be interested in, in order to get something they could have gotten (and wanted) had things gone more smoothly.
However, I am willing to bet the majority of the people who are upset over the WM giveaway, are not from Group A, but are unable to see the the situation as it really is. For those of you in group C, KUDOS!!! Now you will get a free WM to put up on ebay and further torment those upset with this great promotion! Group D people, keep living on - things are cool. Group B people - NICE EH?? FREE WMs with your purchase!
