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?¿(•.•)¿?

    There is three big reasons why Microsoft wouldn't make this deal: The first is that they had already sunk a fortune into Titanfall; which unfortunately while being a good game it was obviously the wrong FPS to back last year. Second Microsoft is not happy with the Xbox property; for years now they have been contemplating selling off the entire Xbox franchise, and I am sure they don't enjoy funneling as much money into it as it requires when their software division is far more profitable and easier to manage. Third, a great deal of Microsofts financial plans are tired directly into their Windows 8 mobile platform; which includes developing the Surface Pro line as well as their purchase of Nokia. You have to imagine that even if they have the funds to spend on getting exclusive content for Xbox games they would probably want to spend it on more than a couple weapons and some strikes, perhaps maybe something along the lines of a whole game (Tomb Raider 2.) What you are missing is that just because they might have the money that doesn't mean that they are willing to spend it on exclusives or even deam them worth the money they would cost.
