MS PR: The Real Reason we Didn't See Halo at E3...

The event just wasn't big enough for Halo...

But wait... it gets better...

Eurogamer:I suppose the thing with that is that Bungie was clearly quite pissed off...
Don Mattrick:You kidding? I talked to Harold myself last night.
Eurogamer:They did say quite clearly that they were disappointed-
Don Mattrick:Sure they're disappointed. Any software creator would be disappointed.Harold just laughed and he said, "Boy, just a sign of growth inside thebusiness, we agree," and I actually think too, again, we just have somuch news with playable software, with dates, with things for people totouch and interact, we probably had too much stuff. We've had more thana year of productivity since the last E3. [Editor's note: Since this interview was published, Bungie has contacted Eurogamer to present its side of the story. Ryan has said: "I certainly didn't agree with the decision to delay our news until sometime after E3."]

"I'll wager sixty finest English pence that you defeat Big Sister in the end by shagging her to death."

Don Mattrick seems like a schmuck to me.

I agree.....

Don Mattrick seems like a schmuck to me.

Don't know anything about him, seemed OK.

But I must admit that I wanted to punch that big grin of his on my monitor, when MS announced the delay of FF13 to NA/Euro-land on their E3-conference. :P
But nice for those with no PS3, but I didn't like that NA/Euro-customers must wait until 360-version is done for simultaneous NA/Euro-release on both platforms.
