If I recall correctly, the deal between Bungie and Microsoft gave Microsoft the option to publish future Bungie games (i.e. Bungie is contractually bound to only use another publisher for a game if Microsoft turns them down). Microsoft also retained the rights to the Halo series.
Essentially, Bungie has creative control over it's own projects now, but Microsoft has the hooks in them on the business side. I don't know the exact details of the deal, but it's sufficient to say that a Halo game on a competing console is an impossibility, and it's incredibly unlikely that Bungie will release a non-Halo game on a competing console.
Portables could be a possibility though.
Worst. Thread. Ever. Seriously.

Please tell me your joking cause if your not then please go back an research the last seven years, you might have missed a thing or two on the way.
The definitive evidence that video games turn people into mass murderers

No, Microsoft owning the IP means they get to choose where it goes. Do you see MS giving to Sony one of its biggest hardware sellers?
I own all three current consoles and a great gaming rig, now thats out of the way.

"Why post something like this when all it will get is PS3 owners blinded to reality replying? BOTH THE PS3 AND BLUE-RAY WILL NOT LAST 3 YEARS! TECHNOLOGY CHANGED TOO FAST!"
"is it Wii FIt that has sold as many as PS3's sold? Thats a LOL Look at the total sales of software is it just me that sees Nintendo titles hitting 10m+ and you say they arent making a difference? Another LOL!"
"Hell, with all the negative hype Sony spin, people just aren't interested cost is too high and to get the true HD experience (1080p, 7.1 surround) you will need a $1000+ system. THAT IS GOING TO DO IT IN A RECESSION! PS4 will not happen"
Your buddy is a fucking idiot.
Bungie and Microsoft split. Bungie got to be an independent developer. Microsoft got to keep the rights to Halo.
I will even send this as a message just in case you don't read this post.

I'm not joking, and in the last seven years the Macs were not a competition to Windows or the consoles, and they're still no competition, and unless the iPod becomes the super handheld, they won't be competition...
It wont happen but even if it does I have both consoles, and the sale argument is stupid PS2 way outsold xbox and halo 1 and 2 were exclusive to the box. bungie could have left after halo they didnt.
they just wanted more creative freedom and it was the right choice. also the pc is a pretty good second platform for games.
if it were a #'s issue the wii would get a dumbed down version.
