Over the top comment by Ballmer, nah that can't be.
As much as I am loving Halo (just nearing completion of the first game, and will play 2, 3, ODST and Wars soon), I doubt anyone would consider it as important for gaming overall as he states. The gaming equivalent of Star Wars and Harry Potter will be Mario, while the gaming equivalent of Citizen Kane and Tolkien's Middle Earth trilogy will be Metal Gear Solid. One could argue for Zelda or Final Fantasy as one of the two as well, but it's got to be one of those long running series.
