I think someone finally pulled their head out of their ass. Platform exclusives are fuckin' stupid in this day and age. It only ever made sense when each console was a very specialized machine and not basicially a PC with slightly different specs.
Instead of trying to make up the loss on the hardware by forcing people to get that hardware to play a game, they should be trying to make up for it in game sales, across multiple platforms. Sony needs to do the same thing (and they are sorta kinda moving toward this, but at a glacial pace).
Now, specifically Halo... I really don't care. I never got into Halo outside of the couch multiplayer. I think of it like Goldeneye; it did something in a very specific space that worked great in that time and place, but it's not actually a super mind blowing game.
