is this a recent quote?

...building up a big franchise only to discard it before it releases to use the gears IP seems, weird.   either they already have two teams or maybe their existing game will be reskinned with the gears IP.   i just can't see them putting all the work to "build the next halo" only to pick up the gears IP...

wheren't they the ones alongside 343 to work on multiple projects? (due to number of employees?)

as a primarily sony fan i just don't know.  i have a hard enough time keeping track of how many teams each sony studio has that i just don't even try with the nintendo/ms studios.
