Halo 3 pushed back to 2007?
Microsoft’s killer app for the Xbox 360 may not make it to store shelves this year, says a Gamestop memo.
FULL STORY:
We do a lot of Halo 3 coverage because of all the rumors that it’s going to be Xbox 360’s major weapon against the PlayStation 3. But it looks more and more like Bill Gates’ retraction was for real — not only won’t the shooter launch against PS3, but it won’t even launch this year.
The sleuths over at Kotaku have published a scan of an internal memo from Gamestop, the video-game retailer, that says “Microsoft has stated that Halo 3 WILL NOT be released in 2006.” It all looks pretty legit to us, but, regardless of how it will affect the PS3, it’s bad news we have to wait that long for the next Halo.
