Halo 4 on 360 would surprise me TBH. Seems like a waste of the title.
My thinking is that Halo 4, this late in 360 life and with 3 Halo FPS titles already out for 360 would do nothing more than sell software for MS. It would have a minimal impact on console sales and as the first non-Bungie Halo (FPS) runs the risk of allowing gamers to see if the Bungie magic has been lost prior to MS next console.
All in all I see little strategic value for MS releasing Halo 4 on 360 and actually potential risks.
Halo 4 on their next console makes a lot more sense. Halo remains MS core fanchise, selling way more than Gears and really the main exclusive title that brings in the core to new consoles early. Halo 4 on their next console would likely ensure a decent transition of current owners and a strong start, particularly if tied to a new Gears as well.
Of course, if MS really want to try and extend 360 life then I could see Halo 4 helping, but that seems a lesser strategic option to me than using it to push their next console.
But hey, if it's good I'll try it, although I found Reach dissapointing (as a Halo title although the gameplay was fine and the MP very good and I did like the new engine) so I'll be looking for a really good SP campaign plus some truly fresh stuff on MP.
Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...
