Halo 3 In the Works, Set To Crush PS3 Launch?

IGN has an article claiming to reveal a few rumours from around the industry. The most interesting of these rumours is the possibility that Halo 3 is in the works already, and what's more is being targeted at the PS3 launch date in an effort to undermine Sony. From the article: "The release of Halo 3 at the precise launch of PS3 is a pure, military tactical move, similar to the PS2's greatest lineup ever launching simultaneously with the launch of the Xbox and GameCube. It's designed to counter Sony's upcoming launch with the best weapon Earth has on its side, Master Chief." I'd take this one with a big helping of NaCl.

    MS can't sell consoles in Japan. Sony can. PS3 will outsell the Xbox2 easily.

    I mean really? I played and finished Halo2 and said 'meh'... Halo 3 (Which might have an eding - horay!) vs PS3 and Metal Gear Solid, Grand Turismo (WITH online this time), Wipeout (akin to Wipeout Pure for PSP), Final Fantasy, etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc... No-one but the die-hard fanatical xblob fanboys care... Really... All this means is xbox2 will be $200 by the time PS3 comes out. It will make more people buy a XBLOCK2, but *not* make LESS people buy PS3s... Lets face it, it's a fight to control DRM and the space under your TV... Nothing else...
