I love how many people complained about Halo ending with Halo 3, yet, when they start making another one, they complain again. Nothing can really make gamers happy. Anyways, this looks pretty great. I was a little worried about how 343 would handle this, but it seems like they know what they are doing. It all looks great on paper, so hopefully, it'll be just as great when playing.
I prefer games easier nowadays. I would rather have a good, fun time with a video game than a frustrating game that's really hard. But that's my opinion.
I don't think any of them will drop out this year. Microsoft is doing completely fine with the Xbox 360 and Xbox LIVE and so is Sony with then PlayStation. And Nintendo is releasing the WiiU, which looks great and will gain Nintendo plenty of cash.
