Halo 3 parrying PS3 launch
Time magazine (via Gamespot) writes:
Note to the hard-core faithful: the next version of Halo will not, repeat not, be ready in time for the launch of Xbox 360. It will be part of the all-important second wave next spring. ‘It’s perfect,’ Gates says, radiant with bloodlust. ‘The day Sony launches [the new PlayStation], and they walk right into Halo 3.’
Also of note, that pose on the Time cover is ironically close to the long-standing symbol of the evil empire used by Slashdot.org:

Nice move. dick.
wonder if this is just halo 2.5, that they split halo 2 into 2 parts, so they could deliver so quickly. Might be more credible a theory if they were shipping with Xbox 360, i guess.

Your theory is echoed throughout the gameblogs.
