I don't know if this is really smart or just plain stupid. Either way, I get a new Halo in less than a year *I pray.*
Im sure Gates is just saying that contingent on Sony launching it in 2006. If Sony launches alongside Xbox 360 in 2005 I dont think they will release the game.
Its actually a good strategy, to deflect the whole Sony hype machine that some of you were talking about (the same sort of thing they pulled on Sega and used to sink the DC). If the 360 launches, and Sony says "wait for a PS3, itll be better", Microsoft can say, "no, we got Halo 3". Its as good a strategy as any.
The opposite could be true, too--the PS3 could launch with several big-name games, which could suck the wind right out of any single game launch on a competing platform.Originally Posted by The Chronicle
It sounds more like he's dangling this carrot as a potential scare tactic, but I don't think it matters that much to Sony. Such a move would force the designers of Halo 3 to work on Sony's perceived schedule, which is a sign of weakness and inferiority--if you're purporting to define the market as a leader, then you never, ever publicly state that you're working according to your competitor's schedule.

C'mon, whatever the PS3 shcedule, Bungie would never release a game if it wasn't absolutely finished...

There have been rumours floating around that Halo 3 was already in development before 2 even shipped. This has been planned for a long time.

I thought that the team for Halo 3 is double the size of 2? or so I heard anyways. Plus I'm willing to be Microsoft is throwing a bunch of money bungies way to get the people it needs to finish the game.
Overall its a great move by Microsoft but its shitloads of pressure for bungie. I really doubt PS3 will launch this year or even spring of 06. I'm willing to put money on bungie having until Fall 06 to get things done.
