Microsoft: "Halo is less important than You’re In the Movies."

Ouch. The L.A. Times spoke with Don Mattrick, senior vice president of Microsoft’s Xbox division, and he was more than happy to explain that a new Halo game was originally going to be announced at Microsoft’s E3 press conference this past Monday, and it was cut. for a very, very terrible good reason.

Microsoft wanted the press conference to last an hour and a half, and the Halo presentation would have dragged it out to two and a half hours, so they cut it. The way Mr. Mattrick tells it, they felt it was more important to have a live demonstration of You’re in the Movies than it was to announce the next game in the series that single-handedly put them in the black the previous fiscal year.

    Weak sauce. I was looking forward to a good press update. NeoGaffer were pissed about this. I’m just wondering when the Halo movie will come out…
