Halo 3 confirmed

In a recent article from Time magaizne, Bill Gates himself confirms Microsoft's plans for Halo 3. He states:

It will be part of the all-important second wave next spring. "It's perfect," Gates says, radiant with bloodlust. "The day Sony launches [the new PlayStation], and they walk right into Halo 3."

We all knew it was coming, but it's still good to hear from the man at the top that probably one of the most important Xbox 360 games, Halo 3, is going to counter Playstation's PS3 launch. What if Sony bumps up the PS3 launch to this year, I wonder how that would affect Halo 3. I doubt that Bungie would just happen to have the game ready months ahead of time. But you never know I guess.
