How pissed do you think Microsoft is now that Bungie will dev for PS3?

I can only dream of the damage control going on at M$ right now. We all know Acti are going to make Bun do PS3 games, how many PS3 or XB360 exclusives have Acti published this gen? I think its none. But to be fair if MS really wanted to keep Bun they could have done so easily, maybe MS felt like it was time to part.

I don't understand the "damage control" statement. Bungie has been independant since 2007, MS created 343 studios at least last year and told everyone that 343 was doing Halo from now on and we've known since last year that Bungie most likely won't be doing another Halo. "Damage Control" is done by a year. The only people I see freaking out about this are PS3 guys, which makes sense because they get to play a Bungie game without paying the "evil" MS any money, hooray for you.

 

Look at the post above you from a MS fan ("RIP Bungie"). A lot of 360 fans are mad because they know the next Bungie IP, potentially the real next "Halo", will be playable on PS3. This dev was 360 flagship, the main reason left to buy a 360 actually.

So it's definitely a bad news for MS, no way to minimize this, hence the damage control PR they released yesterday.
