Half-Life 2 not on XBox ?

Posted on Monday, 9 June 2003 by Speed, source: Fragland
In an article over at Bizjournal about Xbox being a major cash loss for Microsoft, a statement from David Hufford - product manager for XBox - notes the following :
In addition, Hufford acknowledged that another anticipated combat game sequel, Half-Life 2, made by Seattle game developer Valve Software, won't be available for the Xbox as had been previously announced.

"As of now, Half-Life 2 is not going to be on the Xbox," he said. "Valve is sending us mixed messages on that."
How can one send mixed messages ?

Let's do a little role-playing here :
- Microsoft: So, you want to bring HL2 to XBox ?

- Valve: We might

- Microsoft: We need to know, so that we can send out a press release which will increase our sales even more

- Valve: How much is that press release worth to you ?

- Microsoft: What do you mean with that ? What kind of question is that ? Will you port HL2 to XBox or not ?

- Valve*: We haven't got a clue
