Microsoft has taken many of Sony's exclusives.This has allowed them to drive Sony's fans to the 360 like Tekken,Final Fantasy,Gran theft Auto,etc.This would be Sony's turn to take some of Microsoft's share of fans to the PS3.

Sony are not that good in North America.Yeah it could be because of PS3 shortages that 360 is still beating it but still Sony isn't performing in NA like it is Worldwide.Alot of upcoming games like Gran Turismo 5 might help.But it would still be Playstation Fans buying it and a couple of other who don't own a PS3.Bungie has a Big fanbase in USA which will help Sony's NA sales.

Now Everybody might say they wouldn't cause they said it was multi-platform,well Sony could do a Timed Exclusive.

Also many might say it would cost alot to sony,well it will bring big sales in NA which would increase software sales for PS3 too in NA and as NA buys alot of software compared to Europe and Japan,this could do alot for other games.Also the first year Bungie's new game won't be that big as HALO or MW2 so timed exclusive might be easy.Also as new IP from any developer,exclusivity can raise its hype and also help its name and what big could be a news that Bungie has been defected for the Black Monster.

Activision could then after one of two years take it multi-plat when it is bigger.

Apart from you response on the probability of this happening,i also want to know if it does happen how big would it be?

Nonsense, Activision is all about building a huge userbase, then milking it with spin-off and sequels.

Now THAT would be even funnier than Bungie leaving to make PS3 games, the 360 fans meltdown would be ten times better than today's meltdown.

The successor to Halo... only on PS3 !!

But I doubt it'll happen unless 360 sales really become japanese (I mean if they reach their Japan zero level, but everywhere in the world).

ROFLMAO

This is not happening, Activision will use Bungie's brandname as a cash cow by putting their game on as many systems as they can.....Activision won't let this opportunity go to waste.

I have only one thing to say to you OP..something you love saying to other people as we saw 1 week ago:

A little more time on this site will help you predict a lot better!

I dunno, it depends how much people actually love bungie. As opposed to the halo IP.

I think it could result in an extra boost, but I don't think one developer can other a console that much outside of nintendo. Because the PS3 can't get halo. So it would have to be a new IP.

I personally don't like bungie or halo either, but I know I'm not the majority in the USA.

Edit: I answered the topic and now. activision has no reason to go non-multiplatform. Because Bungie Fanatics most likely bought the xbox.  But then again, it is activision. And if anything if you compare it to MW2 that sold better on xbox. So sony would have to pay activision a ludicrous amount, for a game that may not even be bigger than killzone 2.

It would be huge. However, hell would have frozen over, pigs would fly and Bungie would have released their own take on Guitar Hero before that happens (hint: it's not happening).

I'd consider it a waste of money on SONY's part...

Well...

It COULD be a big deal.

But it's VERY unlikely to happen.

oh i didn't predict it.alot of difference between saying what Sony should do to improve their NA score and predicting Sony will do it.

And what are you  a protector of that other poster,did e bribe you and blackmail you or just a plea of please come fight for me Darth

so i would like to say it to you.

You would learn how to distinguish better after a little more time on this site

All I'll say is the meltdowns will be epic, and I would be forced, yet again, to leave the internet for a few months. Will it happen though? Not until I grow wings.
