rofl, seriously. The thing is though, you can buy a SexBox for 300 bucks and get a machine that has all of the games the PC has and more. Sports genres aren't very PC friendly, and while I like FPSing on PC better there is just as big of a community on XBox. Again, if Sony has a cheaper machine I will buy that though. I don't have the cash to spend 2000 on a super gaming PC.
Seeing as how they've just built off the Reach engine, I don't see it being too difficult for them to bring the game to the PC as well. Bungie already has to have partial PC support in the engine for the tools, so it's already a 1/4 of the way there.
With all this 'rawr, new shit, rawr, new music, rawr, new story, rawr, rawr', it'd be pretty fucking stupid for them to limit themselves to just the 360. They have the resources, put it on the PC as well.
I would probably get it for pc unless the port was just awful. And assuming it also had an editing kit, otherwise I'll be getting it for the platform it was originally made for.
It's an XBox 360 title and they want to "do more." *laugh*
Also, why would you want to rationalize multiplayer deathmatch? The whole point behind it is that it's a branch off and makes no sense, the only people that care about multiplayer's place in the universe are the people who care far too much about lore and the folks like RvB who point it out just for the sake of lampshade hanging. It's about shooting people in the face repeatedly, not a blockbuster riveting tale.
Oh, so the likely announcement of the future MS console that will happen before this game launches wont take away from the 360?
That would also decrease sales by a fuckton. I can't be the only one out there who can't afford to buy the new Xbox at 400$-500$ as well as Halo 4 for 60$ (assuming I don't get a Limited Edition, which I would want to). By the time I and any other university/college/non-rich student/person finally buys the console, the game would be well past its prime and would have been robbed of a very large amount of sales.
I'm not saying I wouldn't want it on PC (although console is where Halo has always been for me, asides from Halo PC/CE), but I completely understand why they're not doing so.
Not when it comes to Halo 4, no. Having Halo 4 on the 360 gives Microsoft more game sales for its baby, and most people who want a 360 have one already anyway. The problem with having it on both the 360 and PC is requiring to maintain both at the same time, while it would be much simpler and time saving to only have one.
In plus, most people would buy it on the 360 anyway, wanting to stick with what they know and love, and the PC port wouldn't be as big of a success and they would want it to be.

Because so little information has been released that those "perfectly valid concerns" are little more than wild speculation for the most part.
Console-Exclusive games like Halo are what keep the Console in the market. That's the primary reason why Microsoft has not put Halo back onto the PC since H2V (arguably considering the hooplah with H2V); Halo fans will have to buy a console to enjoy the most recent Halo games.
Oh look. They still use cubemaps. 343i, where's my real-time reflections!? :maddowns:
