LOL hell no. You think Sony has enough money to pay for the 10 million + Bungie fans on the 360? Fact is that even though Bungie's games may go multi-plat their real home will always be on the 360 thats where their massive fan base is.

Bungie's fanbase is because of HAlo,doesn't mean HALO fans will buy everything from Bungie.Just because HALO sold so much doesn't mean everthing else will,maybe after 1 or 2 games in the series but not at first.

 

I was just trying to say how Sony will be able to help themselves if they even take a few fans of Bungie to 360 in North America.

Sony would have to do something amazing to get a timed exclusive with activision because they are clearly a multiplatform company.  Besides that activision has a great relationship with microsoft and bungie has a great relationship with microsoft.  Just a few years ago activision was threatening to cut ps3 support and criticizing sony so I don't see them becoming good buddies anytime soon.

yeah i think that would be the big obstacle if it were to happen,Bungie relation with MS.Activisions relation with MS means nothing,the only reason they give them timed exclusive is cause MS pay them.

 

Also it wasn't a few years ago,it was last year that Activision was threatning to cut PS3 support and it was solely cause of PS3's price.

 

And it was because Bobby Kotick knew PS3 price cut was coming that he tried to threaten Sony in public about PS3 support removal so that when the price cut came,it would seem as it was because of him and that he had power to change things in the industry.

 

Activision couldn't afford to cut support completely either to MS or Sony,no chance about it.PS3 and 360 SW sales of activision are pretty close and that Guitar Hero makes more on the PS3.But they could try exclusivity with a new IP.
