1. Halo 2 went up against GTA:SA, the biggest selling console game in near 15 years, and still pulled away with stealing November's hardware sales from Sony. 2. Your always going to have a game like Halo go up against impressive other games. Look at Shrek 3 vs. Spiderman 3 vs. POTC 3 - each game will get their share. 3. If it "killed the hype" why, at EBgames.com, 3 of the top 5 most-purchased games Halo 3, Halo 3 CE and Halo 3 Legendary Pack? Why is it still #1 at gamestats.com's hype meter (99.8 vs. closest game, SSBB at 99.6)? MS has about 5 other huge games to release, and I think a November release date for H3 would of killed the whole GTAIV day-and-date thingy going on which is HUGE.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
