If it wasn't for the "chaining" to Xbox, Bungie might not have been as popular as it is today and possibly might not even still be in business. The Halo franchise brought a steady stream of revenue along with a large fan base. I'm not condoning the position Microsoft put Bungie in but it did help in the long run fan base wise. I do not have an opinion on the gaming systems though. I think it would be cool to have a PC but really just because of the abundance of fun mods, but The consoles give me a cheaper and ,in some ways, easier to play games online with my friends.

Either way, I'll always remember that I was introduced to Bungie through Halo.
