If Half-life 2 comes out on X-BOX, it will have to be specifically made for the X-BOX. The X-XBOX is NOT a computer, it is a console therefore games have to be made specifically for the X-BOX. If valve manages to do a very good port to the X-BOX, the only difference between the computer version and X-BOX version will be the resolution. Some other people say that Half-life 2 will have to be toned down for the X-BOX to handle it. I disagree. Look at Halo. Great for X-BOX, not so great on PC.
Anyway, People will buy Half-life 2 regardless if they have X-BOX or PC, and I'm sure valve will do a good job on both.

Half-life 2 may be on the Xbox but with the graphics detail level toned down.

well, it as started on xen where the biozeminades made the cars look like they flied using optical illusions... people would drive off cliffs and die... the xenians kicked the biozeminades out and forced them to make HL1 look like HL2... why, i do not kno... eventually, the xenians actually made the tech work and made the biozeminades make crappy looking games look good, forever!

Since Gabe Newell said XNA is good. I am thinking it will come out on Xbox 2 instead

Sure, the XBox can run a version of Half-Life 2. That said, it'll obviously have to be a lighter weight build than what will be available for PCs.

The xbox has a modified geforce 3 graphics card and dosen't support pixel or vertex shaders 2.0, so it wouldn't be able to run source on full detail, but it could run the game on "directx 8" mode fine, if it was ported of course. I personally don't care if they release an xbox version or not.

The xbox is a Mobile pentium III 733 MHz (with a reduced cache), a modified GeForce 3, and has an 8 or 10 GB hard disk

Halo was actually more graphically impressive on PC from a technical standpoint. However, they added a bit TOO much on the graphics side and it ended up being a system hog. I had mine running at 1024x768 with everything turned on and I had a couple of long-time XBox Halo players comment on how much better it looked on PC.
For consoles you have much lower resolution. Between the lower resolution and most TVs, it's kind of like automatic anti-aliasing. Everything gets just enough blurring to look good, but it also loses a lot of clarity. If you played Halo on an HDTV and played the PC version side-by-side, I am pretty sure the PC version would look much better (especially when turning up the res).
You can especially notice this effect by hooking up a computer to a normal TV and playing a game with a lot of detail. Models that are far away as well as small details get lost on the TV. (Trying to play a game like WarCraft 3 is a pain in the butt...) Basically, what I'm saying is that Halo actually looked better on TV than it really was because of the imperfections inherent in lower resolutions and most current televisions.
