Subject: If Halo was a PlayStation exclusive, would you even own an Xbox?

I used to be indecisive, but now i'm not sure.

So let's say back in the day it was Sony, instead of MS, who hired Bungie to move their Halo game to their console the PS2.
Now would the Xbox have survived without Halo?
If it is, would the Xbox still be your console of choice?

No. Halo is Xbox, and Xbox is Halo.

Probably. Halo wasn't the first game I've played.

Honestly, I don't think so. Halo is the only series I even own for Xbox anymore. I buy everything else for PS3.

I bought an xbox for Morrowind, and Halo CE ended up being a sweet byproduct. So, yeah, I'd still have an xbox

The Xbox probably wouldn't exist if not for Halo...

  • 12.11.2012 1:11 PM PDT

Disregard Females, acquire currency.

Nope. I would have bought a PS3.

I can't recall, but I think Halo CE got me into the original Xbox. I probably still would have chosen Xbox though. I don't know.

If that was the case I'd probably own both consoles and sell my PS3 after Halo 4.

Call me Stu

Yes there more to the xbox then its exclusives.

  • 12.11.2012 1:11 PM PDT

Honestly? Probably not. PS3 has more going for it.

As it is, I have both.

Probably not if PS3 also kept all their other exclusives.

  • 12.11.2012 1:12 PM PDT

Playing Halo on a PS3 controller would suck

  • 12.11.2012 1:12 PM PDT

Nope. I think I would have gotten a freaking Wii back in 2006 if it weren't for the 360. I think I will buy the next Playstation console if the Xbox 720 charges you for the online experience.

A competitive players main goal is to win.
A casuals main goal is to have fun regardless of whether that results in a win or loss.
It has nothing to do with individual skill or knowledge, it has to do with the reason you play.

Well, I have to say, I did buy my 360 for future Halo games, so I don't really know.

I have both consoles, and I can't imagine selling other one away, I use my PS3 a lot less compared to 360 as my "go to games" are on it and most of my friends have 360. But now that Halo has gone to hell, I don't think it's the main reason why I play on 360 anymore.

  • 12.11.2012 1:13 PM PDT

probably not, there are many good games that are exclusive to the PS3 and it's superior hardware would make it an instant buy, halo is the only reason I still own an xbox,and the only reason I bought one.

True dat

  • 12.11.2012 1:17 PM PDT

Probably not, to be honest.

Nope. The only reason I wanted a 360 is because I was a huge Halo fanboy. Guess the joke was on me when Halo 3 was the only good one and when the 360 had a grand total of 3 mediocre exclusives.

  • 12.11.2012 1:17 PM PDT

Don't LOL if you aren't L'inOL.

Halo: Reach
Halo 3
Halo ODST

Yes, but I would never have used it as much as I do.

Haha, no.

Halo is the last remaining reason I still own an Xbox.

It was that first HEADSHOT! in Unreal Championship that got me into the original Xbox.

So yeah, I'd probably have one still.

Recon Number 54 -
If they are still looking, then while holding the snarl, I let drool start to drip from my mouth, I stand, curl my fingers into claws and with a hunched over crouch, I then make slow and deliberate steps towards them. When I get close enough, I let them hear my agonized and gasping growls and then, if they continue to stare, when I get within arm's reach? I kiss them on the nose, and run away giggling.

I really doubt it.

The only reason I wanted an Xbox 360 instead of a PS3 was Halo 3.
