So if u make halo 3 for the original xbox i would be pleased also many other ppl. plss and thank u

Because they need the technology and by the time it comes out...you should have enough money for a 360...

Here's a perfectly logical reason: Bungie is owned by Microsoft if I'm not mistaken. And technology is no problem as Sony and Nintendo's new console are just as pwoerful if not more.

Xbox360 has more shear power than the xbox, also its being made to tempt people into buying a xbox360 if they really want to play this game.. another great thing that this will cause is less little kids playing it as they cant afford something like a xbox360 without a job or stable income.

Are you aware of the next gen console war? MS owns bungie, and Halo 3 is going to be the best selling game for xbox 360 next year. Do you think they would actually make it for the original xbox? If you still think yes you are below the age of 14, and have no understanding of marketing or economics. Even if the original xbox could support Halo 3, MS wouldn't let them do it? Why? B/c if it is only on xbox 360, don't you think it will force millions to buy a 360. I don't get how people can think its remotely possible. These threads are so ridiculous I hope the ninjas will start closing them.

comon idiot, I have practically no idea of everything in the systems, but I can still understand the fact that HALO 3 CANNOT RUN ON THE XBOX, THE PROCESSORS ARE TOO SLOW!

Lets see... the Wii is less powerful then both.

As for PS3 vs Xbox 360.... read Here to compare the xbox 360 vs the PS3... and thats when the PS3 had a lot more features than what it does now (ethernet and usb stuff that got cut.... who knows what else to cut down on price.... this is sony).

The Wii and PS3 are still in production, so who knows who will win. And, for the record, the Wii used at E3 was actually a modded Gamecube. We didn't really get to see it's true power.

Anywho, back on topic. Yeah this topic will probably be closed soon. This thread is now pointless and should be closed.....but if all pointless things were non-existant, some of us wouldn't be here, now would we? (not that that's a bad thing in some cases)

bc Microsoft owns it and it will be INSANELY popular. Giving it to other VG companies would be stupid.

'Cause people like me will buy a 360 just for Halo 3. Just like I bought an Xbox for Halo.


As for the speculation link from IGN. That's just interesting and probably in some points true. At least in one bar-graph Sony had the upper hand (floating point avg.).

As for the general purpose CPU power and GPU, those have already been speculated to be correct as far as I know. So MS got it right, although that spec sheet may seem a bit... odd, and -blam- to Sony fanboys.

Anyway, it's mostly due to... wait... Completely due to marketing reasons and the power of the Xbox 360 that Halo 3 is ONLY for it and not the original Xbox.
I can't imagine graphics seen in the teaser trailer running in-game on an original Xbox... it's just not possible, and if it was... that'd be just sad.

The Ps3 got its ass kicked!

But back on topic; there are two reasons

1. The xbox simply wouldn't be able to handle it.

2. Microsoft owns Bungie. Therefore they decided to make it on the 360 so more people
will buy a 360.

Ugh. Not another one of these threads.

Halo 3 can't go on the Xbox because they want more people to buy 360's. Plus, the Xbox wouldn't have enough power to run Halo 3. It barely had enough to run Halo 2. If they were to make a Halo 3 for the Xbox, then that would prolong the wait maybe 2 or 3 years more for them to remake it for it.

So if you don't have a 360 I suggest you save up now.

Maybe if you learned to type in comprehensible English, Bungie would take your opinion seriously. But Halo 3 will be just for the 360, since the Xbox could barely handle Halo 2.
