It's Microsoft trying to dominate another industry and that's worth fighting against actively in my opinion. Personally, I don't care about Halo, and I'm one of those actively against the Xbox, for reasons beyond its pathetic library of games (PC ports, PS2 and Dreamcast ports, and crappy games, with the odd good one hidden here and there under the massive piles of crap) its crappy controller, and the fact that unless you have an HDTV, it doesn't look any better than a PS2 or Dreamcast. If people have waited for this long, they'll wait another year, and not bother with the $200 for the Xbox. They just removed that reason by announcing it's release, ever.
The preception remains, true or not, that "Halo is the only reason to get an Xbox". Microsoft ought to be looking to expand into the casual gamer crowd/those of us who don't like, don't care, or actively dislike the Xbox. The people who were waiting for a price drop have already gotten it as well (or may by Christmas, but everything game-wise gets a Christmas boost).
Pretty much, the people who wanted an Xbox originally have already gotten it.
