Link says it all. If this is true, then Nintendo is stuffed. Not even Mario Kart will be able to counter Halo 2. Also, November has always been the time of big Nintendo launches. In 2001, the Gamecube launched, in 2002, Metroid Prime launched. Looks like Microsoft are going for Nintendo's throat this holiday season.

Could it happen. Well yeah, but I wouldn't count on it.
But if you were MS wouldn't you try to get it out prior to the holiday season? And it's not like MS doesn't have the manpower or capital neither.

Usually they bump up the realease like a week or two- not half a year
Unless they were pretending to be taking so long so Sony and Nintendo wouldnt be ready for a surprise launch. Too bad for M$ that Nintendo will now have to announce their completely top secret Pokemon RPG for GCN to be released for XMas
Even if this is true, Nintendo will still do fine with their lineup. I mean Halo II is only one game. So now M$ will have two must own games, oh boy!!

A Halo killer, that is. Pokemon is cool, but I wouldn't buy it.

It doesn't matter if there are only two must own games. Microsoft has gotten this far with only Halo (I'm not saying there aren't anyother good games, I'm saying there's only one must own exclusive), so Halo two releasing this soon is a big deal.

Why should we be worried if it gets released alongside with Mario Kart? As long as I get Mario Kart, I'm happy. That's all I care about.I mean, I don't see Halo 2 being a system seller, which the first game was. Anyone who wanted to play Halo would have gotten a xbox now.

I agree. I mean who really cares. I'm getting MKDD no matter what. And Halo II will not be a system seller IMO. People who want Halo II want Halo I and probably already have a XBox. MKDD on the other hand is a completely new type of game for GCN and the previous Mario Kart games have generated a lot of fans who will buy a GCN just for that one game alone. Hell the only reason I still have a N64 if for MK64.

They already have, its called Pokemon Coluseum, and is released December 4th.

Of COURSE Halo 2 will be a system seller. Anyone who doesn't have an XBox right now but would like one is obviously holding off until Halo 2 is released- that's what I was planning on for a while until I realized I didn't want to spend that much money. Besides, the publicity alone will attract buyers who don't even want to play Halo (god rest their souls).

Cannot wait for MK: DD. Whether or not it's a system seller, I will get it and play it till the day is done. And then some.

QuoteWait, exclusive? Well, we can't be talking about Halo 1 or 2 because neither is/will be exclusive.
Microsoft has gotten this far with only Halo (I'm not saying there aren't anyother good games, I'm saying there's only one must own exclusive), so Halo two releasing this soon is a big deal.

Go in their forums, a few of their mods openly hate gamecube because its not microsoft. That is not my idea of credible journalism.

And a word of advice, don't trust xbox365 for your xbox news. If you want good Xbox news, go to teamxbox.com.

Also, remember, Xbox has another big exclusive coming up: Fable. From what I've read about this game, it sounds awesome. But I have no idea when it's supposed to come out and I'm too lazy to check.
