Best Buy have fuelled the rumour that Microsoft will use Halo 3 as a weapon against the launch of the Playstation 3 next year. Sony's CEO recently said the PS3 would make its appearance in the Spring of next year, while Best Buy's website now lists Halo 3 as set for release on the 15th of May.While the date is most likely just a guesstimate on Best Buy's part, it would tie in with Bill Gates earlier statement that PS3 would "walk into" Halo 3 upon it's release:
At this point Microsoft has not confirmed a release date. Statements from Microsoft have put the launch somewhere around the time the PS3 will be released. Rumors have indicated that Halo 3 will debut with the Halo movie that is speculated to be released in 2007.
My best guess is that Microsoft will put Halo 3 up against the release of the Playstation 3.
