I can't say I can tell you about the gameplay yet, but I can guarantee you they'll do at least as good a job as Bungie on the story. Most likely 343i will do a better job. Watch the Universe panel, and check out how they've been handling the game in general. 343i is very capable- they're not just some run of the mill studio
As for Bungie, Aerospace seems like a side project, nothing big.
I'm sure Bungie's next game will turn out great. Will it be another Halo quality title? Maybe. I'm sure it'll be AAA, review great, but I'm not sure it'll catch that same lure, though it might.
My worst fear is that Bungie is making a standard Warcraft esque MMO. I just don't think MMOs have been done well yet to be honest. I just don't like them, and I think they've all just been a grind with false incentives. I just hope Bungie doesn't go the way of Blizzard. Blizzard did this and basically is a WOW studio. They then proceeded to rehash Starcraft and are doing the same with Diablo. While Bungie can't do this (well, they could with myth/ marathon, not diablo), I just don't want to see them being a run of the mill MMO studio and then maybe making some other games that are just on the coattails of their former self (i mean blizzard could make a good game but they need to do something more than just rehash)
Sorry for the rant about Blizzard. They remind me of Valve...
Valve... lets not get into that.
I mean... nevermind.
But in response to the main question, obviously consoles. I mean, they show no intention to step away from that. Aerospace honestly is just a quick way to make some money and help indie devs. Aerospace is good and I applaud Bungie for doing it. I recognize that it's not a charity move, but it's definitely going to mutually benefit both parties involved.
