Halo 3 is coming...are you game?

[Decessus]

Well, the rumours were true, Halo 3 is coming, but for the XBOX 360. There are problems with the XBOX 360 that almost makes you not want to buy it, but the fact of hearing Halo 3 is coming out on it, almost makes it worth while. The only rumours about Halo 3 left is on when it will be released. Microsoft is being very hush hush about the release date.

One rumour: Halo 3 will be released on the same date as the PlayStation 3, to try to see if Halo 3 out sells the PS3 console itself.
The other rumour is: Halo 3 will just be released Summer 2006.

I think it should be released summer 2006, you dont want them to rush it like they did Halo2. Now there are stipulations about the PS3 is not going to out sell the XBOX 360. Yes, this time, Sony will out power Microsoft with the PS3, but this brings up issues. Will the PS3 actually be TOO powerful? PS3 will have multiprocessors, but this is the first time this has been done with a gaming console. PS3 also have alot of other things that have not been done yet to a true gaming console (The PC is not a gaming console). This may actually drive game makers AWAY from the PS3 market. I mean, why have this powerful of a console, if the games dont take it to its limits with better graphics and such. And this will take more time to make a game, and different programs, and that requires more training on this new stuff. So, the cost may not be worth the outcome in sales. You may say "well they have to train them with the diffent consoles already". The answer to that is, no they dont. It is all converted from language such as C++, and C+.net for the XBOX. You can buy the XBOX game creation kit for ohhhhh around $35,000 USD. You can most likely expect that to be double for the new consoles. All in all, its going to be a good fight between XBOX 360 and the PlayStation 3, once again, Nintendo will be left in the dust. Perfect Dark: Zero wont even be on the Nintendo...and it started there with Perfect Dark.
