Additionally, there are ~10M current Xbox owners with no 360 - at least a decent amount of them are waiting for a reason to upgrade - Halo 3 will be that reason. The current 360 live titles have all failed to live up to the Halo 2 experience (in part due to the MS TrueSkill failure) that should be rectified with Halo 3 - and cause more of the existing 360 base to upgrade.

The Halo installations were built by the Forerunners, a fictional civilization within the series, to contain and study the Flood, a rampantly infectious alien parasite. To this end, each Halo possesses a network of underground structures, ranging from laboratories to containment areas. Each installation shown in the series has a Monitor, an artificial intelligence construct, to oversee automated installation functions, such as defense and climate control. 343 Guilty Spark, for example, runs Installation 04.
