Just look for Microsoft & Bungie to *shock* release Halo3 right at the same time the PS3 comes out. AND by then they might have their supply issues resolved and or an slightly updated 360 to match the specs of the PS3...or maybe even "5D"

Simultaneous launch across three markets? Muahahaha. I predict major shortages.
