A world without halo... well here's where i make my opinion...
A world where Microsoft didn't buy out bungie and let halo be developed for the mac and stay there would have been great. The Xbox would have deteriorated into nothing because there wouldn't have been a good game for it yet (the only reason to get an xbox at the time was for halo). Then the xbox would have deteriorated into nothingness and microsoft would have once again lost a battle and exited the gaming industry (like SEGA did with the dreamcast). Then the PS3 would have dominated the console war vs the wii and there'd be only one console that every gamer would get... a frigging PS3 (i'm not a ps3 fan, i have an xbox 360, its just i pondered this and wrote an essay on this before). Then the world would belong to SONY (thats a bit outrageous).
