Time for MS to respond in kind.

jk...

Damn I'm a big Bungie fan but i understand Sony needs to stay competitive.

This is a good move from Sony, they get at least one good FPS to counter COD going away. Microsoft still have a the lead obviously in FPS, but Sony needed that.

3.6B tho... When Bethesda was at 7.5B.
I mean, I know I never really liked Bungie so much but I feel like this is really expensive esp. when you compared them with what Bethesda brought to the table compared to them

I wonder if this will change MS' stance on exclusivity... 

Smart move by Sony. I don't play Destiny nor CoD so this doesn't affect me, but maybe they will keep CoD on Playstation with Spencer's favorite game.

Much better than moneyhat bs anyways.

Lol yeah. Sony bought Phil's favorite game. Smart move from Sony tbh. Now they got a nice bargaining chip.

Multitask

Destiny revnues are no-where close to COD. I do not see why Microsoft would change their mind about COD based on the risk to lose Destiny.
This would greatly favor Sony (that kind of deal), Sony has way more to lose than Microsoft. If anything like that happens, Sony will probably have to give up way more than just allowing Destiny to be on Xbox.

I start to believe that this was a panic acquisition from Sony (this can be decided in days), and the "wording" of their "Bungie will remain a mutliplatform" studio does not make any sense when you overpay 3.6B for Bungie. I think Sony did that for 2 reasons:

- To secure at least one very successful FPS, in case everything goes south with COD (very likely...)
-  Try to have Microsoft allowing COD on their hardware by "finally" becoming the good guys and showing to the world 'how they want to bring their experience to the world". This level of hypocrisy in this statement from "Sony" is absolutely insane...

yah, I think they are in panic mode right now. And I tell you, next AAA from Bungie are going to be Play Station (and maybe PC) exclusive, what would be the point of this deal. We are talking about Sony here...

I don’t think Bungie games will continue to be on Xbox. Doesn’t make sense to acquire them for them to keep doing what they’re doing. Maybe Destiny stays multiplat but new IPs PS and PC.

Destiny won't get a new game it will continue to evolve and remain as one game with content patches much like Warframe and they learned their lesson with Destiny 2 and it took years to earn back the player base so much like ESO or Skyrim pulling support wouldn't make sense either way.

Been a multiplatform developer doesn't mean a Xbox release on the new IP they could just be PS/PC day one and that ticks the multiplat box and I don't think this changes anything in Xbox's plan with CoD whether they were going to release on PS consoles or not going forward.
