Possibly because the original xbox system cannot handle the system requirements of halo 3.

Halo2 pushed the xbox to its limits in a lot of cases. If halo3 was going to be much more than Halo2, you could forget about it. And the trailer cutscene's geometry alone without any fancy textures and lighting schemes would probably not work at all on the xbox.

And Halo3 would be the killer app for 360.

it is a business move. If they make it for the orginal then it gives no one a reason to get the 360. and if you arent goin to buy it then you dont get to play it.

...you can make a better game on a more powerful system. Think less business move, more common sense.

What he says is entirely correct, the Xbox cannot handle the High-Res trailer's detail and quality. I have a modified Xbox and have both the Hi-res and Lo-res trailers saved to the HDD. When I attempt to play the Hi-res its RAM drops to around 2MBs (out of 64MB), hangs, and then returns to the menu (after the 5 second timeout). If I choose the Lo-res it plays fine. I know the Hi-res is not corrupt because I have the same copy on my computer and it works fine. I also attemped to use one from a different source (gametrailers.com) and it still didn't work. It seems that there just isn't enough RAM in the Xbox to just play the trailer. Nevermind the actual game.

Amazing Huh?
