Halo 3 will be good, but one game cannot destroy a console.

You'd Be Surprised What The Power Of Halo Can Do To The Video Game Industry.

He watches every Hodgetwin video they put up...on ALL their channels. He calls them the Hodge Triplets, and considers himself the 3rd triplet. He's started talking and acting like them now. Every other line out of his mouth "Thaaas some BULLLLLL**** maaayne" or "Gotta make dem gainzzzz". He calls his biceps "gains". When he eats post-workout, he talks to his biceps, "Don't worry gains, I'm feeding you. Daddys gonna feed you, gainz *kisses biceps*".

Single-handedly? No.

I'll tell you what, though... it sure as hell single-handedly stole the show at E3.

i voted yes, but i know it won't (im confusing like that).XboX is big on fps's like halo and ps is big on rpg's and of course metal gear (oh how i miss the old days of MGS for ps1) so basically it won't happen. But then again im pretty sure alot of people are going to pick up a 360 and HALO 3 when time roles around, but i don't think it will destroy the ps3, but then again i guess we will just have to wait and see.

The PS3 is a cheap piece of -blam!-, which knocks off the 360 and the wii and is overpriced. Xbox doesnt need halo3 to beat it.

I believe that a Sony exec said, although unintentionally, that they didn't care about the PS3 in terms of a game console - they just wanted to use it as a huge advantage to Blu-Ray.

That's why I voted no - I think if that weren't the case I would've put maybe.

Halo and Halo 2 combined didn't destroy PS2. What makes you think that Halo 3 will destroy PS3? Microsoft has the best game series (Halo). But, Sony has a way better variety of games which is why PS3 will outsell 360 just like PS2 outsold the Xbox.

It's kinda hard to outsell a console when the competition has literally had the market to themselves for a year. That is one of the reasons PS2 sold so many consoles compared to the Xbox. I dont think that H3 is going to completely outpace a console release, but it will play a huge factor in determining control of the market. Especially if Halo 3 plays as pretty as it looks.

Halo 3, Mechassault 3, PGR 4, Forza 2, and a price drop on the 360 would be enough to Dreamcast the PS3. (Yes, I know that the 360 came out first.)

I don't think so. This time around it will be quite different. The 360 launched first and has a nice head start over the PS3. In due time the 360 will get kick ass titles which is what makes or breaks a system. Sony has to play catch up now in order to compete with the 360. Sony already has one downfall which is the price $499-$599, $100-$200 more than the 360 in Christmas time. Bad move!!
If Sony doesnt deliver great games by Christmas and by the least come out with a decent online strategy to compete with Xbox Live then I see the PS3 falling behind the 360. Halo 3 will just put the icing on the cake :)

Halo 3 will not even come close to destroying the PS3.

It may harm sales, but there are a lot more hardcore PS3 fans than ther are Halo fans.
The PS3 is going to pwn.

However, one thing that may destroy the PS3..
It's pricetag. God damn.
I heard - $600!
That will steer away the casual gamers, and a good part of the hardcore fans.

Then again, I thought the same of the Xbox 360...

Oh wait.. I was right. STILL, very few people have 360s.

Microsoft and Sony are both screwing over a good portion of their consumers.
Nintendo is embracing them, and opening up to a new audience.

This sounds like Nintendo's comeback. Wii forever.

Have you seen the Metroid Prime 3 video? The graphics look just like the Gamecube version. they predict that 10 million 360's will be sold by the time PS3 comes out. Which is this november. A lot of people have 360s.

The graphics are definitely better in MP3, but not by a lot. Anyway, graphics don't make a good game. It's all about gameplay and that Wii controller is amazing especially for FPSs.

A lot of people?

Out of the people in my school
4 people have Xbox 360s.
Out of the people I play with on Halo 2
3 people have Xbox 360s, not counting the original four.

I haven't looked at any sales records, and while I admit that Microsoft has sold enough 360s to be able to keep making more, I do not admit that a "lot" of people have Xbox 360s.

10 Million seems VERY high. And even so, there are nearly 4 billion people in the United States.

And you can not judge the graphics of a single game, and think that applies to the whole console. The graphics, while limited by the system, are ultimately decided by the creators of the game you are playing.
Play Final Fantasy Nine on the Playstation One.
Then play Halo 2.
Looking only at the cutscenes, FFIX blows Halo 2 out of the water.
An inferior system, but superior graphics?

Note: The rest of FFIX is not as great graphics-wise, but you get the point I am making, I am sure.

ok, first of all, im really sorry about the triple post, but im sure you'll get over it :/
second i just wanted to point out that many people are forgetting a few key aspects of the ps3, like its is a blu ray player- those are supposed to be like $500 standalone.
third of all, this is a halo 3 forum, so imma stop talking about the ps3

*edit
hey look, an edit button- oops forgot.

This same game made the xbox. While it can't kill the PS3, coupled with high cost and crap quality, I hope H3 will be icing on the eulogy.
