What if Halo 4 became mutliplat (like to ps3/wii), seeing as though Bungie has separated from Microsoft and they need to make more money due to the economy. What would the outrage in System wars and in the industry look like?

The outrage would be outrageous. I couldn't imagine playing a Halo game on a PS3, it would feel wrong.

sorry lemmings, microsoft wont be able to possess the power of nintendo because nintendo will always say no especally to shall we say some one who cant make a quality console much less a quality operating system ,

nintendo is doing very good on their own they dont need sony much less a noob like microsoft to control their consoles,

as far as halo 4 goes , i wouldnt want that garbage near the wii or the ps3,

because it is just a wanna be goldeneye or timesplitters, actually the 3rd it proved to be a wanna be timesplitters when they introduced forge which failed completely,

Also Bungie still isn't going to make games for the Wii or Playstation 3, they have programmed for the Xbox and Xbox 360 sense 2001 its all they know and are extremely familiar with. Just because Microsoft and Bungie split doesn't mean they still aren't in bed with each other.

no , because Nintendos stock right now are obviously worth more, it doesnt mean they have more money or are worth more as a whole company thats like saying KFC is worth more than Mcdonalds because its stocks are worth $1 more right now .

I wouldn't be happy or sad. I don't really care for Halo. Maybe it is because I am a PC gamer and Halo is nothing more than a average FPS by PC standards.

Its company might be worth less, but that doesnt mean MS has 80 Billion dollars in the bank that it can just fling around. MS cannot buy something worth 80 Billion dollars. They dont have that much cash, they would have to loan it and the interest would be phenomenal.

If MS is going to buyout Nintendo it has to convince the MS investors that Nintendo is worth more than what they are paying the investors of Nintendo. And considering how well Nintendo is doing right now, their investors won't be letting go of their stocks unless a ludicrous offer was on the table.

in all fairness Nintendo was worth a lot less back then . Wii has skyrocketed the company's value, I wish I would've bought some Nintendo stock during the GC years honestly it was so cheap compared to now.

They do not need to. They have the rights to the Halo name. Hench why there is a little game called Halo Wars not made by Bungie.

MS is still worth more than Nintendo if you count world-wide. Sony is worth 53 billion I think, Nintendo 55, and Microsoft is worth 400 billion lol. This info was during 2009 during the economic crisis and the sales of the Wii.
