You seriously need to take some Beano, as your boast about things that
are nothing more than gas.

Microsoft has first right to decline to publish any future game Bungie
makes. Only after Microsoft declines can Bungie shop their game around
to other publishers. This was in every article that reported the news.

> 2. M$ only retains a minority share in Bungie, without any decision

Correct. Bungie can decide on any game concept they want without
having to ask Microsoft for permission.

Correct in that their agreement with Microsoft is for a limited time.
Incorrect that they can have somebody else publish their game before
Microsoft has declined to do so.

They can develop for other consoles if Microsoft chooses not to
publish their game.

> 5. Beyond Gheylo DLC and two mini-games, Bungie has no legal
> commitment to continue with the Gheylo cult in the future.

Correct. However, Bungie has already stated that Halo 3 is not the
last full-blown Halo game they create.

Good move on their part. FASA sucked.

> studios, Rare and Lionhead.

Questionable move to allow Bungie to leave... but more to allow things
to get to a point where Bungie WANTS to leave.

> c. Rare founders have left Rare, Rare has nothing in development
> except Viva Pinata' expansions.

Rare founders did jack sh1t for the games. They were just paper
pushers. Rare hasn't had the Goldeneye team since the beginning of
Perfect Dark development (not Zero, the original 64 title) so that's
no big deal. Some of the team members who did Banjo Kazooie are still
there and will be able to contribute to an awesome platforming
experience, which is something Microsoft needs for their console right
now.

Interesting... what indications? I've seen absolutely none thus far.

200 titles and dozens of new IPs that aren't being developed for the
PS3 right now.

> b. SCE introduces 2 new SKU while phasing out the two older SKU,
> reducing manufacturing costs while increasing profits and install
> base.

This is just an indication of how badly the PS3 is doing. They've had
to drop the price by $100 TWICE within months. NOT an indication of
things going well although this could be a turning point for the
system. COULD.

By failing at it? Nice try.

Which titles? Note that these system sellers will miss the all-
important holiday season when people spend the most money. By the time
January, February and March roll around, people WON'T be spending
money on games, having spent an average of $1,000 per person during
the holiday season on gifts for OTHER people... except in the case of
a mega franchise like Grand Theft Auto IV, which will arrive on BOTH
consoles in March.

I'm kind of surprised you haven't already done so, seeing as how not a
single one of your predictions about the PS3 has come true and the
system is miserably flailing. Hopefully, the next few months will give
you SOMETHING to live for.

If bliggy is nothing but hot air, wouldn't beano basically kill him? Now,
would he just slowly deflate in place like a bad souffle, go flying around
the room like a baloon with a bad leak, or just simply explode (bang!)?

You make it sound as if that were a bad thing.

That's the only thing WORTH keeping. It's not like Bungie has
developed anything else in almost a decade now. Marathon was good in
its day, but is hardly a household name outside of hardcore Apple
gamer circles. And when's the last time anyone saw a hardcore Apple
gamer?

Yea seriously, Myth is pure genius. It's a shame they sold the rights
a long time ago.

Like I said, it's not like Bungie has developed anything else in
almost a decade now. When is the last Myth game they did? How many
people even remember the franchise?
