Spider-Man 3 - the mistake

This is so funny I had to blog about it. You may recall a couple of days ago, I blogged about the Spider-Man 3 game. At the time, I said I thought it was a mistake to rush a game for the purpose of cashing in on some quick sales.

Well, it looks like I'm not the only one to think so. Upon release of the Spider-Man 3 game, the shares of Activision slumped. Which really makes me think - nyaah nyaah nyaah! Serves you right!

However, this does raise another question. What is more important to a listed company - the short terms sales increase from releasing a rushed game or the share price slump from releasing a poor game?
