“Halo,” the first major project spearheaded by the division, is in advanced negotiations for a pickup at Showtime in a shared window with Xbox. That project, co-produced with Amblin TV, is expected to continue with Microsoft’s backing

All I need to know. Cut the rest. I didn't care much for the non-Halo programming anyway. Better to put that money into 3rd party moneyhatting!

I don't think they are gonna give the Xbox division more money. I just think they are trying to lower costs as much as possible.
