EXCLUSIVES TO SONY, BUT HERES THE REAL QUESTION.

WHY? GOOD QUESTION. Obviously a contract was made between Sony and Bungie to guarantee exclusives for playstation, BUT. The question is, WHY. Clearly, Sony paid some cash for that, in hopes it would sway a many a folk to buy a playstation, to have the "superior" destiny console. What I don't understand is that, WHY, did Microsoft not make this deal. Now let's get something straight, Microsoft is SO F*CKING RICH, the second wealthiest company in the world (behind apple), Bill Gates who helped to found it, is so f*cking rich, he alone could buy out sony, bend it over a barrel and ride that f*cker into the ground, and he would still be one of the richest men in the world, no sweat. SO, Just imagine how much cash the entire company has. It seems Microsoft could have easily made that contract right? But there's more to it, now I'm not sure about what happened exactly. No one knows if Microsoft just didn't see the opportunity as feasible or outright decided, F*ck you Bungie, for even considering another console as your exclusive outlet. And the latter makes more sense to me, because listen up. Obviously Halo was an outstanding franchise that "defined a generation" and popularized first person shooters, made them mainstream. But did you ever think to realize who made Bungie!!!?, F*cking MICROSOFT MADE BUNGIE WHO THEY ARE TODAY, without Microsoft taking a leap, signing Bungie in to the squad and taking them under their wing, guiding them to greatness, you likely wouldn't know what the f*ck I was talking about when I said Bungie, you'd probably think I was some weird assmotherf*cker talking about trampolines or some sh*t. Bungie owes EVERYTHING to Microsoft. So it begs the question, WHY, WHY did Bungie choose Sony over Microsoft, over the company that nurtured and cared for their frightened newborn baby of a company in Bungie? I DONT KNOW. But it pisses me the f*ck off and poses as a monumental curiosity in my eyes! Thank you for your time. #nintendo?¿(•.•)¿?

  • The hell are you on about? First of all Activision made the deal with Sony not Bungie. Next you need to check your history, Bungie was making games way before they got together with Microsoft. Halo was originally intended to be a PC/Mac game, considering the difference in size between the original XBOX and PC community you could make the argument that Bungie would have gotten wider recognition earlier if they hadn't joined Microsoft (though the fact that it was a console FPS is what made it so great). Also I'd argue that the Xbox owes a great deal of it's success to Bungie and Halo. This was a brand new console breaking into a market that was ruled by Nintendo, Sega and Sony who were all well established brands. Microsoft needed a selling point and they identified Halo as a new and exciting idea that could be their very own exclusive powerhouse. Bungie created the game that made Xbox relevant, and Microsoft is still riding on their coattails to this day, you got to keep Halo they don't owe Microsoft shit.
