ok ok, BUT is it tru tht bungie and MS split up tho?

 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.

And what are those great games? Halo? Halo 2? Halo 3? Halo 4? Halo X? Halo Legends? Halo Adventures? Halo Master Chief Evolved? i know that one Halo title gives Microsoft a lot of profit, and the series is 43 on the franchise sales list, but that's all Bungie has done since the first Halo, i got happy that Marathon 2 was ported to XBLA, but they need to work on other projects now that they are independent...
