I personally think it is the release date for Halo 3, which is what I have been thinking for a while now, even before I heard this. One of my friends and I were talking today, and we both agreed that Halo 3 would probably be released very soon, and I told him "I bet it's out by February". I don't own an Xbox, but I was planning on buying one almost exclusively for Halo 2.
And releasing Halo 3 soon after Halo 2 is actually an ingenious money making scheme. M$ are rich greedy b******s. They wait FOREVER to release Halo 2, sequal to one of the greatest games ever, and people eat it up. They rush madly to the stores, they buy their copies, and thus Halo 2 makes about 1.6 Mill in one night. A friend of mine went to EB the night it was released, and he was last in line. The guy told him "We only have 11 left". He bought all 11 of them, and is selling the rest on Ebay for 100 dollars a piece. THAT is how badly people want it, and THATS how much they'll pay, and THATS how much money M$ is making.
If they wait a few months and release Halo 3, guess what? Just as many people will buy it. They love it that much.
I also believe that Halo 3 has actually been in the making for the past several years, and that it will be a much more "complete" and fulfilling game that Halo 2. I predict that the story in Halo 3 will be awesome, and make up for the lack of a long campaign in Halo 2.
