Is Bungie trapped between a rock and a hard place? (Destiny)

I'll only point out two things:

1) For better or worse, just about every Bungie game has been rebooted during development.

Gnop: No
Minotaur: No
Desert Storm: No
PiD: No
Marathon: Yes
M2: No
M∞: No
Myth: No
Myth II: No but close
Oni: Yes
Halo: Yes
Halo 2: Yes
Halo 3: No
ODST: No
Reach: No
Destiny: Yes
Des2ny: Yes

That's less than half that were rebooted. I am defining reboot as throwing away large chunks of the game already completed and starting completely fresh.

Notice the stretch from Halo to Des2ny. Who famously left the company for the time period between Halo 3 and Reach, and had nothing to do with those games? Makes you wonder…

Please pardon my ignorance and I ask this out of interest and curiosity, not out of defiance:

What are your credentials/sources to know this stuff?
