Halo…
That was the best game for any system at the time (and still is at the top of most lists), but it did not make the X Box sell for units than the PS2. I think it’s going to come down to the abilities and price. Basically 5 main catagories: Price, Backwards Compatability, Hard Drive abilities and availability (standard or separate and can you use it in place of the memory card unlike the PS2), Availability (we all remember last Christmas when the only system not sold out was the Game Cube), and lastly the games. Even if the 360 launched with Halo 3, it wouldn’t be enough to carry the system, but if rumors are true, the 360 won’t have that much of a jump on the PS3. Last I heard the PS3 is supposed to be released in the first quarter of 2006 which may stifle the amount of 360′s sold in anticipation of the “mystery price” and to see what Sony has decided not to throw out.
