For a bit more context, here's what Jarrard actually said... it's not exactly "PS3 is an option", but it's easy to see how an ever-hopeful platform warrior could read that into it (ditto for "Wii is an option")....
Industry Gamers: I don't remember if it was you or a Bungie colleague, but in an interview recently it was mentioned that Bungie would consider PS3 support. Since you're independent you obviously don't have to stick with Microsoft – you can work on PS3, Wii, you can do anything, so of the platforms that are out there, do you have any interest? Are you interested in the Wii in terms of interface and its extremely different user base than the Xbox that you've been targeting with Halo all these years? Are you looking to take a very different direction with what it is you're doing or is it more hardcore still?
Brian Jarrard: I don't know if I would classify it as a hardcore focus. Definitely, we're not looking to make the next version of Wii Fit. I don't think that fits with our studio's philosophies, but we do want to make games that aren't limited to just a small segment of super-hardcore gamers. Hopefully they have something about them that's appealing and interesting to a wide variety of people: people that love great stories, people that love action/adventure... these are the kind of things that, throughout every Bungie game has been a pillar.
In terms of platform, I know these things are all still pending topics in the studio. It hasn't gotten to the point where we're unable to do great work and we're moving forward. Things are definitely coming together though. We definitely have plans in the works, and I think we're really close to understanding of what is next and who, what, when, where, that's all going to land. But we're not looking at one particular piece of technology right now. All options are open right now, so long as we find the best possible fit for our creative vision and what this project is going to be.
