Description: Halo is the most well known Xbox franchise, but it very nearly wasn't a launch title for the console. Instead, it was a highly anticipated PC and Macintosh game. What would the world look like if Halo had instead been a Macintosh exclusive? How would the Xbox have gotten along without its crown jewel? And what would a game focused Apple look like? And the rest of the game industry for that matter? In the latest episode of our alternate history series Versus, we explore what that world would have looked like. In this installment of Polygon's Versus series... welcome to the iVerse. It's not that hard to imagine.
