I don't believe Bill Gates ever said that Halo 3 would destroy the Playstation 3. Releasing Halo 3 on the same day or around the launch of the Playstation 3 is simply a good counterattack. It's a lot better than doing nothing, no?

And I'm sure Bill Gates will save the release of a meaningless peripheral or something for the launch of Revolution.
