^^ Bungie's new IP is going to be a timed exclusive?

If I recall correctly it will be. I'd say it's going to release at the end of this year on the 360 and NeXt

That's pretty surprising considering Activision is backing them on it.


True, Id expect full exclusivity. Microsoft and Activision are relatively close. 

No, I'd expect almost the exact opposite actually. To my knowledge Activision has never given even timed exclusivity on one of their retail games (the only thing they do is timed exclusives for some DLC for some games) let alone full exclusivity. So I find it very surprising that they would do something like that.


Not surprising at all, COD and Guitar Hero said hello from America!! Microsoft got plenty of timed exclusivity to anything hot that Activision has ever had to offer from those two major titles. This game would be no different and you know how Microsoft loves those timed exclusives earlier this gen. Yes, the game would be exclusive for only so long because you know how Activision loves those multiplat dollars, but if its a shooter theres HUGE chance that Microsoft will pay for half of the marketing like they did COD. The game will sell ok on the next playstation. Microsoft will have their exclusive that vancouver is making at launch and the timed exclusive from bungie. ;)

P.S.

Follow the patterns they make and you can read their future. Predictable.
