There is a downside to all this. With less competition, albeit for a
short while, we can pretty much be certain that there will not be a price
drop on the XBox 360.

Microsoft don't see Nintendo as competition.

The other thing that is quite funny to come out of all this was that
Microsoft said that the PS3 launch would walk straight into Halo 3. They
later retracted that is this implied that Halo 3 would launch at Xmas.
Probably not such an incorrect statement after all. ;0)


Quite :-)

I would imagine that with this delay, people at MS are already looking at how achievable it would be for Bungie to bring Halo 3 to market at the same time as the rescheduled PS3 launch.

I have to say, that the amount of laughing I would do, if Bungie managed it, would likely result in my being hospitalised..
