Think about it. Microsoft is hyping their Live Anywhere feature with the ability for cross-platform gameplay. What better way to promote it than using their most successful series, Halo, to launch it?

So, maybe Halo 3 is going to be out around when Vista is out, and Bungie will surprise us all with Halo 3 PC, with Live Anywhere functionality.

I'm not saying I support this, BTW. Yes, I know that it would be incredibly unfair for those who are playing on the Xbox 360.

But dude, Halo 3 is going to be meant to sell 360's, it's not about a sixty dollar game, but if they're going to sell $300-$400 consoles. It's going to hurt console sales because everybody knows PC pwns consoles. Microsoft is going to make lots of money off of H3, and then make more profit by releasing the PC version a while later.

Besides, it wouldn't be a smart idea to release Halo 3 PC around the same date as Halo 2 PC.

When I first heard the "Live Anywhere" announcement I thought the same as you Johnny, but the more I think about it, the more I have to agree with Master Kim. Releasing Halo3PC concurrently with Xbox would probably dent 360 sales and mostly likely will kill Halo2Vista before it even gets started.

do u mean on the halo 3 trailer? u honestly think that halo 3 could not b made for pc with today's technology? wtf do u think a 360 is? its a computer with a special os and hardware like controler ports and such.

there r pc's out today that would proform better than the 360. it only has a tri core 2.8 ghz processor and 512mb of ram, theres nothing amazing about it, console games r just optimized for the hardware they r intended to b used on and thats why they could make halo 2 for a celeron cpu, but when they dont kno wat kind of hardware is going to b used, like in pc games in general, they cant really optimize it.

1. Its 3.2ghz
2. I'm referring to the 500mhz ATi xenos GPU which is inside the 360 and so far 360 versions of GRAW and obilivion are outperforming there PC counter parts

But not for long. 360 hardware will be sorely outdated once vista and DX10 hits.

Amen to that, Chewy Gumball.

Even the PS3 can't stand to DX10 graphics like in Crysis.

Actually, a GOOD PC pwns consoles. I know a lot of people who just bought Halo Xbox and Xbox Connect because they didn't want to spend $400 on a decent graphics card or wait for a decent sale, or fiddle around with program files. As long as there are lazy people on the earth, there will be gaming consoles.

That matters not. PC cards will be constantly getting better. Driver updates, new chipsets, etc. The PC will always be the superior platform. Probably because you spend more on it.

The 360 GPU is a slightly advanced version of DX9.

What Chewy Gumball and Johnny Orcface said.

PC technology grows rather fast, so we have a plethora of things to do for PCs while people twiddle their gamepad's thumbsticks in anticipation.

My mistake but still when VIsta hits you'll have to wait for Crysis before any 360 games fail to cut the mustard against there PC counterparts

And after that, the 360 will be blown out of the water. Probably out of the galaxy too.

I doubt that very much the days of PCs lording it over consoles are over for the time being lets compare a Vista game to a 360 game both versions of bioshock.
bioshock PC
bioshock 360
make your own minds up

Even so, when it comes to sheer processing power and visuals, the PC will always dominate.
