If they were finished with Halo 3 and were sitting on it, MS would be the dumbest company in the world. MS needs to seriously try to make their game look every bit as good as the KZ video. The physics need to be out of this world. And I personally think it will.
Disclaimer: I know that we don't know if KZ will offically look like the video, but there are too many people wanting what they seen at E3. I think the Xbox 360 and Bungie can do it.

Excuse me??, but what the hell are you saying?, are you saying that Halo 3 won't be a multi million seller, if you are, you are mistaken.

Dude, the game does not need any movie to increase it's sales, and it would be stupid to hold off on launching a game just to coincide with a movie release. This isn' king-king, this is halo XBOX's #1 franchise. It doesn't need some cheeseball movie-tie in cross promotion crap.
As for PS3 being sold out in the US next X-mas? haha, you wanna bet some mony that it isn't? I'll take that bet! If it launches next year in the US it will be near the end of the year, there will be shortages like there has been for x360.
$200 core? Just a possibility, I was just pointing out that MS will have a good deal(be it $200 or $250 whatever) ready and waiting on store shelves, with Halo 3 as a teaser they could potentially pull away many dissapointed PS consumer who is unable to find their console, and is sitting with cash in pocket.

i.e. if you walk into a store next holiday season, you will not find a PS3 on the shelves.

Depending on the release date too now doesn't it.
depends on the timing. if sony launches in the US many months after say a japan launch, they have a lot of time to build up production; considering they wont have to short the supply due to a worldwide launch. im not saying anyone and everyone will be able to buy a ps3 if they do so, but i dont think it will come to people crying about getting kicked off pre-order slots.scooby_dooby said:
but me? im hoping for a worldwide SPRING launch
sooner i get my ps3 the better.can i get a amen? lol

they had plenty of supply problems with the US launch of PS2, so why would this be any different?
If PS3 is not sold out next x-mas it would basically be a failure, it will be sold out.

My memory may be fuzzy, but I dont recall people getting their pre-orders dropped for the ps2.
Im not saying this wont happen, im just saying i dont think it will be as worse IF sony chooses not to do a worldwide launch. Its pretty simple.scooby_dooby said:

So instead of filling 20% of the need like MS, they might fill 35%, still gonna be shortages and is irrelevant to the point I was making.

There is another point to his statement. Because Halo 3 is going to be released on a new platform, it can't tap as many gamers as it did when Halo2 came out on the original Xbox.
If they release Halo 3 in the next 6 months they won't be able to sell as many copies because the installed base of 360 users will be low. Bungie should just take their time get get it all right. In the mean time the 360 user base will grow adding to the potential buyers of Halo 3.

And do all of this along with the possible 100 million dollar movie coming out. It's not rocket science guys come on.

I find the idea that people are going to watch a Halo movie not already having played a Halo game highly suspect.

In short, the franchise already exists, it is already established. It is almost entirely responsible for selling an entire console. The game sold the Xbox, the game will sell the movie. Not the other way around.
Halo 3 isn't coming out to sell the movie. Halo 3 is coming out to sell the X360. And it's coming out to sell the X360 particularly to people who will be able to pick up the X360 and Halo 3 for the same price as the PS3.
That's the plan. The movie has absolutely nothing to do with anything. Nobody who isn't already a Halo fan will be wanting to see the movie. And the movie isn't going to convince anybody who isn't already a Halo fan to go out and buy a X360 and Halo 3.
Like someone else said earlier, this isn't King Kong. This is more like Doom.
Think Doom (the movie) inspired a significant amount of DoomIII purchases? Of course not.

What's not rocket science is the fact that Halo 2 without any movie, became the #1 best selling game EVER on it's first day. EVER!
They don't need to tie in with anything, and it would not be a compelling reason to delay the game to match up with the movie.
IMO, that would be seen as total cheese by most Halo fans, we don't need no stinkin movie, just give us the sequal to one of th most popular video games ever made...thx.
