In an article with Time Magazine, Microsoft top dog Bill Gates lobbed a plasma grenade right in the crotch of rival Sony with this announcement: “The day Sony launches [the PlayStation 3]… they walk right into Halo 3.”
At least one retailer is taking Gates’ words to the bank. GameStop has now begun to take preorders for Halo 3 on its Web site. The product page shows no box art or game information, but its June 1, 2006, estimated release date, $59.99 price tag, and Xbox 360 platform has fans of the sci-fi series dual-wielding joy and anticipation.
Sony’s Playstation 3 and Microsoft’s (alleged) Halo 3 sharing a release date is anything but coincidental. Gates knows what he’s doing.
