For me the most important thing about Halo 3 is the conclusion of the story arch. Sure the graphics will look better and some gameplay elements will be added, but to me that's not really important for this game. If they mess up the whole Cortana-Gravemind-Arbiter-Sergeant Johnson-MC interaction, and end up with a less than perfect finish for the trilogy, I will truly be unhappy. A lot of people are in it for the multiplayer though and that leans even less on graphics or new gameplay additions (Counterstrike anyone?). Level layout,matchmaking and population are what matters there, and the guys at Bungie are pretty good at that so Halo 3 will probably be a great hit regardless of the campaign section. Gears of War on pc will also sell pretty well I guess (all those ps3 owners that hate Xbox360 now have an excuse to get it 
) and I wonder if they'll make it so Xbox owners can multiplay against PC owners, and if they upgrade online play a bit while they're at it.
Non MS but I also saw a trailer for Killzone 2 which looked pretty good. This might be the game that gets me to get a PS3 (secretly wanted one but nothing besides Resistance to sway me) if only they came in white. It would look pretty next to my xbox then but black... I don't know
