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.

November release date??

 nah, microsoft and bungie announced September 25th as the release date for America and september 26th for Europe....  That's before GTA and still gives them a large amount of sales for the holidays.
