i am not saying the go exclusive fully,i am saying activision would try to push a product as big games and sony would want it for NA

 

alsoBugie directly linking to PS3 would make Bungie image evil in Bungie fans eyes,if they do it with Activision they can blame them for it too and that they were just pushing the game and they will come back to xbox after the first one

I think you have Bungie fans and Xbox 360 fan boys mixed up. A true Bungie fan would be estatic about their favorite gaming studio being given a potentially huge moneymaking deal which could grow the studio. not so much for an Xbox fanboy.

Anyway, thanks for the laugh guys!!! 

not all bungie fans are 360 exclusive owners but alot are,this could help to take them to PS platform which is needed in the NA region.

 

it is tough but i just wanted to get people reaction to what it would do and how big it would be it it happened.

It would be a waste of money. I would rather them give that dough to Insomniac for Resistance and make the series that much better. I perfered it over halo's story and the 2nd one had good multi.

you don't care?????

 

if you don't care then why even comment. and you didn't answer any question

if someone have both consoles then why he should care if the ps/bungie game will come to a console he have ? i will care if the game will come to a console that i dont have and for me i want monster hunter tri on the Wii and i think i will buy one only for this game.. also know that your question is for people that dont have a ps3 or a fanboy who like to see a big Exclusive game only one PS3 and happily post its photos everywhere in the net and make sure Exclusive word appear on it.

am i right ??

Well it would be a waste of money for Sony and Bungie could miss out on big sales.

If their new IP is a shooter the Xbox 360 is essential for them.

LOL hell no. You think Sony has enough money to pay for the 10 million + Bungie fans on the 360? Fact is that even though Bungie's games may go multi-plat their real home will always be on the 360 thats where their massive fan base is.

Bungie's fanbase is because of HAlo,doesn't mean HALO fans will buy everything from Bungie.Just because HALO sold so much doesn't mean everthing else will,maybe after 1 or 2 games in the series but not at first.

 

I was just trying to say how Sony will be able to help themselves if they even take a few fans of Bungie to 360 in North America.

Sony would have to do something amazing to get a timed exclusive with activision because they are clearly a multiplatform company.  Besides that activision has a great relationship with microsoft and bungie has a great relationship with microsoft.  Just a few years ago activision was threatening to cut ps3 support and criticizing sony so I don't see them becoming good buddies anytime soon.

yeah i think that would be the big obstacle if it were to happen,Bungie relation with MS.Activisions relation with MS means nothing,the only reason they give them timed exclusive is cause MS pay them.

 

Also it wasn't a few years ago,it was last year that Activision was threatning to cut PS3 support and it was solely cause of PS3's price.

 

And it was because Bobby Kotick knew PS3 price cut was coming that he tried to threaten Sony in public about PS3 support removal so that when the price cut came,it would seem as it was because of him and that he had power to change things in the industry.

 

Activision couldn't afford to cut support completely either to MS or Sony,no chance about it.PS3 and 360 SW sales of activision are pretty close and that Guitar Hero makes more on the PS3.But they could try exclusivity with a new IP.

At the end of the day Sony would have to pay to get a exclusive/ timed exclusive and they haven't been willing to do that this gen unlike previous gens.

"YOU WANT Monstar hunter tri and somebody wouldn't care if it was on PS3 or 360"

I asked how much will it help Sony to get some 360 only owners to PS3 in NA where they are struggling

They haven't been willing to pay cause they never used to pay for exclusivity.

 

"unlike previous gens"

Sony usually never used to pay for Exclusivity,there console sold so well and DW sales were also high that Devs didn't care to put their games on other consoles.

Even if they paid sometimes,it was minor cause their console sales were miles away from their competion.

 

But this gen sony need it so they could.Also it could be that sony didn't do exclusivity earlier this gen cause of their low sales and them making a loss on PS3 which even if exclusive games,hardware boost would have made them loss and even if they paid for exclusivity earlier their exclusive devs would have made lesser profit.

 

You know Rockstar's exchange with Sony for GTA4 exclusivty for 3 exclusive games later this gen,that was because ven if Rockstar stayed exclsive with Sony money they would have made lesser profit and if GTA4 exclusivity pushed consoles sony would have made a loss.This could have also strained sony's relationship with rockstar.

But now with more consoles,sony making profit on PS3,Rockstar can happily come out with exclusive games for them.
