Halo 3 Arrives, Rewarding Gamers, and Microsoft (Brenna Handzo)
The article that I read was titled Halo 3 Arrives, Rewarding Gamers, and Microsoft. It was posted in the New York Times on September 26, 2007 by Seth Schiesel. The article talks about all the money that people are spending, and all the money that Bill Gates is making. The article goes on to say, “Microsoft hopes that the new Halo futuristic shoot-’em-up game, which is exclusive to the Xbox 360, will persuade more consumers to choose its game machine over the PlayStation 3 from Sony or the Wii from Nintendo.” The article also says how many people have preordered the game and also how many people were expected to go out and buy it just about immediately. Halo is Microsoft’s big success. Halo 3 was produced in 17 different languages. This game has stirred up many discussions and many could hardly await its release.
