Their normal response is usually "Microsoft doesn't commit on rumors or speculations." :|

"While Microsoft quickly raised its boilerplate defense shields (Q: "Is the world flat?" A: "Microsoft does not comment on rumors or speculation."), Capcom was more forthcoming."

Im confused, Microsoft is creepy :(

:lol: You just like to misinterpret quotes from MS for some reason.

maybe because they don't see any forseeable profit on the console for the next 2-3 years at the earliest? not my words microsoft's.

I doubt it, the 360 is expected to turn a substantial profit in 2008.

"the original Xbox made vast losses, and few who have any insight into the figures underlying Microsoft's console business believe that the Xbox 360 will ever bring the Xbox division into the black. For the odd quarter here and there, perhaps; but overall? Not a chance."

Microsoft: Xbox profits may take at least two more years

"Now we are going to have to work hard figuring out how to make money [on Xbox]. CEO Steve Ballmer tells me that Windows took eight or nine years to make any money, which no one talks about today. But he reminds me of that all the time. Today everybody just believes it made money from the start, but that was not the case."

Fair enough, I won't bother digging up the quote from the analyst' who think that it will turn a profit next year. That would be a fruitless expidenture for me...quote war ftl.

Before rumors: Bungie is the most overrated developers ever!

After rumors: I can't wait to see what Bungie can develop for X system!

They are alright, but I've never been impressed by them. They make decent enough games, for the most part. ONI for PS2 was HORRIBLE though, thanks BUNGIE for that pile of CRAP.

Eitherway, M$ owns the BUNGIE name, so they would have to form a new studio, this just isn't going ot happen.

And i suppose the PS3 is making a profit? :roll:

I'm sorry, anyone who honestly thinks the 360 is going to have it's plug pulled at this point is a rabid fanboy. It's outselling the PS3 on a monthly basis by a vast amount. I presume you think the PS3 is going to have its' plug pulled in the next month then, right? :roll:

All three are here to stay. Whine and make stupid assumptions all you want, all three are successful and fine at this point and nothing will change this fact. All 3 companies also have a good amount of cash to back their consoles (unlike Sega did). Seriously, get over the delusions.

No need for a quote war. The analyst who thinks MS will turn a profit in the gaming division, is probably for that quarter. That is significant, because not one quarter with the xbox in existence (both gens) has that department turned aprofit. And if you want to talk about overall profits, not just that quarter, it has a long way to go. But those are sunk costs.
