No way destiny launches on the Xbox360, the 360 is on auto pilot and MS has moved on to the 720!

Destiny will be pushed back, refined, and marketed to move units for the Xbox720!

Also Microsoft may just toss Activision enough cash to once again have Bungie Exclusively making games for Microsoft!

Makes perfectly good business sense seeing how Blizzards next MMO "Titan" is set to launch in 2014/2015 so why have a Bungie's Destiny PC project competing with Blizzards Titan PC Game?

Bungie.....just when you thought you left Microsoft you really didn't!

Makes sense, I have no Idea why they would release destiny and Cod is the same quarter. I imagine destiny will be pushed til May 2014. Its a shame, Having it at the 720s launch could have swayed alot of people next gen purchase IMO.

hazardman4091d ago

But regardless when it comes out its still xbox720 exclusive, for a while anyway! So it could still push hardware when it ships.

BanBrother4091d ago

Prefer it to be a next-gen game tbh. Also, when does it come out for the PS4? I just want a straight answer. The dates have never been set in stone. Why would you pay to have a timed exclusive game? Seems stupid. Can't wait for more news on it in the next few weeks though.

WeskerChildReborned4091d ago

Well if it goes to next gen systems or whether it doesn't, Xbox will apparently have the game one year before Playstation will have it.

DeadlyFire4091d ago

Well according to article Xbox version was supposed to come in 2013 and PS4 version in 2014. Also with PC version. Now if Xbox version slips into 2014. Likely PS4 version stays in 2014 as well. If they are really going to push this to be a successful franchise every 2 years with a new title then the development can't be to far out of sync between the platforms.

Grap4091d ago

bungie if u didn't sell your soul to activision and go to kickstarters instade i can guarantee to you u will have +10M pledge. by that budget u can develop any kind of games.

Look, to be honest the FTC should just stop.

MS has A/B and nothing has really changed yet...if you are worried about 5-10 years from now...just drop it cause the future is unpredictable.

Take this week's news, that 4 Xbox exclusive are going Multiplatform.

Yeah man I think Microsoft here getting to probe is kinda wrong unless you only have accessed to necessary information not complete access imo.

Abriael77d ago

Obviously they aren't giving them the password to Sony's computers and telling them "help yourself."

Eonjay75d ago

"Microsoft allowed to probe Sony and Ubisoft"

Sounds hot...

ApocalypseShadow76d ago (Edited 76d ago )

Maybe Microsoft should also talk and get help from their "congressional influencers" at The Capital. They had plenty to say on the matter before the acquisition. They are mighty quiet after the purchase went through. Almost as if they had a stake in the matter.

Abriael76d ago

Could you perhaps explain how this is related? I'm honestly curious since you seem to bring it up rather often.

He is pointing out how corrupt MS is, and how money talks. I think.

KwietStorm_BLM76d ago

I would say read between the lines but it's pretty damn clear as it is.

Bathyj76d ago

You should be careful upsetting Sony too much Microsoft.
You might need them to sell your subpar games soon.

TornRaptor76d ago

The games will become the best things ever all of a sudden.

Bathyj76d ago

Yeah I really doubt that.
I'm struggling to think of one I really cared about missing.

Hofstaderman76d ago

Bwhahahaha. Ain't that the truth.

Mr_cheese76d ago

The only exclusive im personally interested in from Microsoft is Elderscrolls and that's not even got s release date.

Everything else is genuinely of none interest.

OtterX76d ago

Microsoft never waits for the probing to be consensual.

derek76d ago

This isn't a major victory. They're essentially being allowed to call witnesses in regards to agreements they reached with Sony and Ubisoft which was initially blocked because Microsoft didn't make the request through the proper channels. This case is dead, there is no way the ftc will be allowed to unwind this acquisition.

Sephiroushin76d ago

they probably know case is death but want some proof to sue them for a few millions regarding other stuff, the ftc loves to sue everyone, be sure that as soon as all this end they will just go sue MS and end in a settlement.
