BusinessWeek’s Bruce Nussbaum has posted an editorial in which he asks if Halo 3 can save Xbox 360 from Nintendo’s Wii, which is currently the best-selling new system.

For hard-core gamers, this week’s introduction of Halo 3 is a gigantic event and this third iteration of the Halo game series is said to be totally awesome. That will certainly help push Microsoft’s Xbox 360 into the black and may be the last chance for Xbox to become a truly profitable operation.

But the real issue is whether the Xbox can take on Nintendo’s Wii which is now the No. 1 best-selling game console in the US. And the answer is probably not.

Why not?

NO! Why not? Nintendo ain't killing the 360; it's not even targeting the same demographic (where they overlap tends to be gamers who will but multiple consoles anyway). IMO MS needs to ignore Nintendo (as they are ignoring the 360), and just fix a few things: 1) Forget the fight- finish the price cut. The damn machine's nearly 2 years old. Price it accordingly, and their sales will boost. 2) Get out the Falcon. Show consumers that the machine is not just covered, but FIXED. 3) F*ck Halo. H3 needed advertising like a new SW movie. Anyone who cared, knew already. Rabid fans will buy it anyway, and the rest will be swayed more by word of mouth and reviews than standees in 7-11. Put some of that green into new, deserving IPs. Don't let Mass Effect become the new Jade Dragon.
