Could it be they want to make games for PS3 or Wii or both? Thoughts......

Think of it as Sony and Se. Only it's MS and Bungie. Bungie clearly wants to expand it's brand. There are no other explanations.

Why do people think that since Bungie isn't first party to MGS that developing for Sony or Nintendo is even a possibility?

Its like Insomniac and Sony. Sure if they wanted to they could develop for other platforms, most likely won't happen though.

If you read the article properly

Bungie will remain in its current location in Kirkland, Washington, and will retain its primary focus on Microsoft platforms

I think they just want the creative freedom to create whatever they want. They have now built a name that rivals the best studio's. I would assume that Bungie realizes they have achieved the pennacol of developement and want to expand THE BUNGIE BRAND. Will they make a PS3 game? Most likely not. They may make a PS4 game though. I do believe we will see a Wii game from them this gen however. The funny thing is Sony makes money off of Square and MS will make money off of PS whatever through Bungie. This is a step in another form of gaming we are not even considering yet. When competitors own a share in other company's and make a profit off their competitors. We dont even fathem that yet. But Sony has done it for a while. They have made money off of both competitors.

I think what it all means now is that now Bungie can makea new brand of game, MS can retain it exclusivly if it wants or let it pass by to other consoles.

Most sites are reporting Halo for example is still MS owned along wit bungie and will remain a MS exclusive.

If anything to me it seems like giving your a dog a bigger leash and a little more freedom.
