Halo 3 to hurt PS3 sales?

[frequency]

i have read a few weeks ago from two sources..game informer and gamespot that microsoft plans to release its flagship game(Halo3) during the same time as the PS3. they think that buy doing this, its gonna hurt the PS3 launch. as for me i dont quite understand that. heres why, if i have $400-500 in my pocket and if i want a PS3...im gonna go for the ps3. i probably would careless if they ship their halo3 game during the initial launch of the ps3. im just sayin how is it gonna affect ther person already planning to buy a ps3? i would understand it if that person has a ps3 and a xbox 360 and two flagship games come out during the same time...for example halo3 for the xbox 360 and lets say(im just assuming here) MSG4 or GTA. in this example i can see why now that the person who have to choose between two games if he/she had enough money to buy one game for either the ps3 or the xbox 360. i dont wanna talk sh*t on microsoft...sense im pretty sure ill be buying both systems anywayz sense i dont have no more credit cards(but thats another story..haha). i just wanna know how that is accomplished ...that a game can hurt the launch of a competitor's console. any insights on this is welcome

what they are saying is that if u go in to pick up your ps3.. you see halo3 with "everyone" going to get it.. u pick it up have a look and find u "need" the game.. they feel that this could be enough to pesuad people from buying ps3s and instead buying X360 along with halo3.. i believe that is thier understanding..
i kinda understand.. i will prolly end up getting both but what one i get first is a coin flip!!
just my 2cents but i believe that, this is thier understanding!

as for me they can throw ads left and right cause if i have the money needed for the ps3 ..im not gonna buy halo3 cause then its gonna take me longer to buy the ps3 ...i would rather buy the ps3 at launch and when i have enough money buy halo3 or any other game for that matter. i guess some people are easily persuaded...lol. dont get me wrong ..i plan to buy both machines anywayz...i dont need no ads or persuasion ..i will get the game when i have money ..simple is that . but i can see ur point and it does make sense now. i can see the love that Gates has for Sony..haha.

I'm gonna Pass on Both At least Temporarily on PS3 Why?
As you all are aware of Famous $ony with their Machines when it first launches on the market..Laser Crapping out or Drive getting stuck or god knows what..
Price ain't a problem but defective machinery will be, which I refuse to deal with..I say about maybe 4-5 generations down I'll get PS3..
As for Halo 3 Never cared for H1-2 so I'm not missing out and I have to know what the Xbox 360 is capable of meaning if it does same type of Capability of Xbox 1 with the modchip intacted etc..People know what I'm talking about with Emu's and etc..

i hear ya loud and clear on that issue of the lasers crapping out. as for halo3 missing up with sonys launch..i dont know about that one. especially if u got those die hard fans for the ps3 leading the way ...i think sonys launch is gonna do real good..with regards to the pricetage on that badboy. i for one dont care for halo that much ...my friends play it day in and day out using my XBL and xbox..haha. anywayz.....sony is gonna have great titles at launch as well...which will even the battle with their good old friend at microsoft.
