Translation : "It hurts. May you all Bungie scumbags die in hell. But please make Halo Reach another AAA game first before going PS3 / 360." Priceless. So looks like MS doesn't know the definition of a 1st party dev either. Or they lie again. Their PR talks look more and more like Iraqi Information Minister stuff recently, between that and "FF13 will sell more on 360" (that one was hilarious, they were outsold like 3 or 4:1). Next PR : "There are no tanks in Bagdad, we're winning the war" ? Here is a reminder MS : "In the video game industry, a first-party developer is a developer that is part of a company that actually manufactures a video game console." List of 1st party devs, strangely Bungie is not on it : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:First-party_video_game_developers Bad journalism or another MS lie ?

There was a nice discussion in this thread aboput bungie, halo, future projects etc etc.... but then Brennan came in to ruin the fun.
You said MS shopuld buy / build 1st party studios... Do you really think this way? You prefer Sony consoles, someone might even call you a fanboy, but I won't go this way. Imagine MS really goes out and buys studios They could buy Remedy, Epic, Mistwalker, Valhalla Games, Valve, Bioware and Capcom with the money they earned this month... Do you really want this? Please be honest.
MS has a lot of talented studios and probably a lot of games in the pipeline we haven't even heard of yet. Lionhead, Rare, Turn10, 343 Industries and Firebird Studios all have at least one game in development we don't know anything about yet.
And they have awesome 3rd party support. Actually the best for any console. Remedy, Epic, Mistwalker say Hi.
We knew that Bungie would go multiplat since 2007. The one thing that makes me wonder is why they picked Activision. I hope Activision does not ruin Bungies games in any way.
Imagine not having GamePass on your console...
