Yes they had an amicable split, but Bungie is no longer first party. It is possible for them to make a PS3 game, however they still have extremely strong ties to Microsoft. To my knowledge the only publisher Bungie has an agreement with currently is Microsoft making their games exclusive by default. |
I would not be surprised if one of MS's conditions for letting Bungie go independent was a right of first refusal for any games that they develop. That way, each from their own perspectives, everyone wins - Bungie because they are their own masters, and likely make more money off of successful games, and Microsoft because they still get great games support for their console while not having to manage a development studio.
The above is all my speculation, but I still think the chances of a PS3 Bungie are extremely small. Then again, stranger things have happened so it might be best to adopt a "wait and see" approach.
Also, as others have said Microsoft purchased the rights to the Halo IP so the only way it could ever see the light of day on a playstation would be if MS stopped making xboxes, but wanted to continue to publish games. I don't see that as ever happening, because if the xbox brand were to ever fail they would probably drop all game development. They're not Sega, they have other, much more lucrative, sources of income.
