Remember Bill Gates stating that the PS3 would ‘walk right into’ Halo 3? It took a while for anyone to rescind the big mans comments didn’t it?
American uber retailer, Best Buy, are now stoking the fires under that rumour once again, dating Halo 3 for release on November 16 2006… one day before the North American drop date for the PS3!
Alternatively, by alluding to a 2007 release date for what is undoubtedly the most anticipated Xbox 360 game thus far, only to then have it in stores just as your closest rival launches their inugural next-gen machine could be one of the most pivotal marketing swerves in history.
Despite our wishful thinking, what are your thoughts? Do you think the original plan was to have Halo 3 out by the end of the year or are Microsoft more concerned with letting Bungie get it right than get it released? Tell us in the comments box below.
that would be sweet if they released it this year, and it would kill the ps3. LOL
They will take there time, expect Fall 2007
yeah no way will we see halo 3 till fall 2007 , 360 wont need it till then gears will stael enough heat from PS3 im sure
