I do agree with you though on the aspect of changing ad focus. Game's like this, which to be honest of the what little I've heard, little of it is bad, do need more attention.

Sure, they wanted people to buy it (there were about a million, at least, pre-orders, right?) but by having the game you're going to want to play it...perhaps more so than any other games offered by other consoles. The way I think Microsoft thinks it sees it, is that one more hour playing Halo 3 is one more hour playing a 360 and liking it, supporting it with new games, accessories etc. and one less hour for the same on the PS2/3 and Wii.

It gets my interest. I might have to find it second hand in a cheapy shop and buy it.

Having said that I don't really know how you could even begin to go about marketing a game like this.
