Apparently Halo:CE was originally going to be for both PS2 and Xbox...

A sci-fi shooter that takes place on a mysterious alien ring world, Halo: Combat Evolved is an action-packed experience that allows players to battle their enemies on foot and in vehicles with alien and human weaponry. The production of Halo has a long and tumultuous history. The title was originally designed as a breakthrough game for Apple's Mac systems, and console versions of the game also became a high-priority project for the development team when it signed with Take-Two. As all PlayStation 2 owners are aware, however, production on Halo was shifted immediately to an Xbox version in 2000 when Take-Two Interactive sold its 20% share of developer Bungie to Microsoft. Thereby solidifying Halo's position as an Xbox and PC exclusive (with a Mac port much, much later on) forever.
It would be interesting to see what xbox would be like today if that game went multi platform
Wow....
Did not know that...
I don't think that halo would be what it is today if it was one all those other consoles...
What if it was on the mac

eXACTLY, IF IT CAME OUT ON BOTH PLATFORMS IT WOULD BE NOT AS SUCCESSFUL AS IT IS TODAY JUST BECAUSE THE PS2 SUCKS WHEN IT COMES DOWN TO FAN BASED FPS'S.
Yeah PS2 doesn't have any good FPS exclusives, they do have some good multiplatform ones though.
by the way nice 1337 posts
i thought this game was on Mac...
yeah Microsoft would be screwed. 90% of 360 owners bought it for Halo 3. If it was also coming to the PS3...well that would even it out a bit i guess
it is on MAC now, but it hadnt been for a while

it did have unreal before they started going to xbox.
I personally never thought the game was THAT good, good as in comparable to Halo. Isn't UT3 a PS3 exclusive right now though? (and PC)

75% of statistics are made up?

that is 93% wrong. right now, it not even out. when it does come out, it will be released on the PS3 first with the 360 to follow shortly. kind of like how 82.4% of the PS3 games get delayed after the 360's version is released. so it all evens out to 50% in the end.
I didn't buy 360 for Halo 3 (not even getting that game right when it comes out, gonna wait a bit), but I did buy my 360
when I did because of Halo 3. I didn't want to wait nearer to Halo 3 launch to get a 360 and end up not being able to because of a shortage. I wish I would have waited a month or 2 longer though, I would have gotten the Elite probably.
Statistically speaking, I was 66.6% likely to buy the premium when I did.
Yeah i did not know all this, kind of an interesting fact you brought up. I honestly don't think the xbox would have done as well if halo was multiplatform.
Oddly enough I am not planning to get the xbox360 for halo but for fable
.....at least i hope they come out with that game.
