Received this press release today for my gaming site:
REDMOND, Wash. - April 8, 2002 - Hailed widely as "video game of the year" and recipient of multiple industry awards for excellence, "Halo(tm): Combat Evolved" has earned the distinguished honour of being the fastest million-unit seller ever for any next-generation console. According to NPDFunworld, the definitive source for toy and video games industry sales data, "Halo: Combat Evolved" recently crossed the magical 1 million mark in sales in the United States and Canada. Statistically, this means that more than six copies of "Halo: Combat Evolved" have been sold every minute of every day since its launch on Nov. 15, 2001.
"Halo: Combat Evolved" also has played a major role in helping the Xbox(tm) video game system from Microsoft Corp. set additional key sales records in the United States in just four months following its launch. The following milestones put Xbox on pace for long-term, worldwide success:
With nearly four games sold for every system purchased, Xbox has a higher attach rate than any next-generation console. Data shows that in the four-month period following the launch of Xbox, owners purchased 1.2 more games with their Xbox system than PlayStation 2 owners did, helping Xbox achieve 82 percent more software sales than PlayStation 2.
In just four months, Xbox has already catapulted to the No. 2 position among current game console sales.
Since its launch, Xbox has outperformed PlayStation 2 sales by 25 percent when comparing system sales during the first four months of each on the market.
Looking good ;)

"GTA3's release date is still to be announced."
I thought the fact that GTA3 was coming out on XBox was yet to be announced, let alone the release date...

The PS2 is quite capable of playing something like Halo. Rumour has it that a "Halo-beater" is currently 'in progess' by Sony, though to be fair that did appear in a PS2 magazine.
However, let's not descend to console wars.
