Microsoft Game Studios vice-president Shane Kim kept a stiff upper lip, saying, "We are supporting Bungie's desire to return to its independent roots." Microsoft will hold a minority stake in Bungie, and the studio will work on future projects within the Microsoft-owned "Halo" universe. Bungie President Harold Ryan said it will continue to develop games exclusively for the Xbox 360 and Windows PCs "for the foreseeable future."

This says it all, right there. Don't expect any Wii or PS3 games from them anytime soon.

You'll never see Halo on anything but Microsoft stuff... Bungie made the game, but MS owns it and the license... Therefor Bungie CANNOT release Halo on anything, they just make the games, they don't own the rights to it. So for it to be on another platform, big brother MS would have to give the o.k. Which they obviously never would.
