In fact, Goldeneye even sold more but it didn't have the same influence. Like I said, the technology enabled pc-like fps games on consoles since then so this helped, too. Not to forget that Halo was bought by MS, otherwise it wouldn't have been on consoles, so there also was a lot of talk about it.


True. Halo was going to finally make people see Apple as a contender in the PC gaming industry. Must've been a sad day for Jobs. True. PC games were coming slowly before then. I believe before that it was just Quake, Doom, Duke Nukem 64 and on the Dreamcast Unreal Tournament made its debute. Halo is such a tricky one to figure out when it comes to the word revolutionary, but you have a point. Halo is also responsible for the trend of midnight releases which happen often today.
