Translation : "It hurts. May you all Bungie scumbags die in hell. But please make Halo Reach another AAA game first before going PS3 / 360."
Priceless. So looks like MS doesn't know the definition of a 1st party dev either. Or they lie again.
Their PR talks look more and more like Iraqi Information Minister stuff recently, between that and "FF13 will sell more on 360" (that one was hilarious, they were outsold like 3 or 4:1). Next PR : "There are no tanks in Bagdad, we're winning the war" ?
Here is a reminder MS :
"In the video game industry, a first-party developer is a developer that is part of a company that actually manufactures a video game console."
List of 1st party devs, strangely Bungie is not on it :

Bad journalism or another MS lie ?
