Why the Exclusives?!?
I am a Xbox player and have been since the beginning and Bungie has made the halo series and have always been great with Xbox and with destiny play station receives exclusives which the Xbox players cannot receive for a year which by then it isn't worth it why am I paying for a game on Xbox that is limited . and the PlayStation version receives more than anything. I understand the first game and yes because Sony gave bungie money is why they have exclusives but really in the second game too. Be Careful bungie because you are shooting yourselves in the foot picking PlayStation over Xbox with halo 5 coming out

Forbes ran an article that shed some light on this. Basically, the Playstation exclusive deals provide an additional revenue stream for Bungie/Activision. As a massive multi player online game Destiny requires constant patches, re-balances and content updates to keep things fresh. Since Destiny doesn't have a monthly fee, the people who work on this game ( who earn a weekly/monthly salary ) need to get payed for their time investment and that money has to come from somewhere. Game sales only account for so much of Bungie's revenue, most of the games continued profit comes from its expansions but exclusive deals live the Playstation one and the Redbull one also help to keep Destiny profitable instead of an expensive failure.

Edited by Seldser: 7/6/2015 9:51:51 AMI bet Steve Jobs felt the same way when Microsoft bought Bungie (because Bungie was a major contributor to Apple's early computer game library) Fun fact: Bungie's first game ever released on a console was Oni, released on Mac, Windows, and PS2

Because money.

How is Bungie shooting itself in the foot? XBox is millions behind on console sales so whether XBox gamers continue to play Destiny or not they will continue to make tons of money and won't lose any sleep. I am in no way trying to say XBox is bad but you should know from last generation that the console that controls the market usually controls the paycheck a lot of these companies get from games. I mean Activision has shown that they are now all in on the Playstation Side of things so don't plan on anything changing until possibly the next generation of consoles if XBox can rebound and not take the beating they are taking now.

2 RepliesSony paid for it thats why. Microsoft doesnt care about its gamers as much. Sony knew destiny is a 10 year project and took advantage. And ya know what? Most of the exclusives are awesome.

You should blame your favourite company Microsoft for not caring about getting you exclusives.

Edited by NM Gunslinger: 7/6/2015 7:23:11 AMHow ironic. "We get Halo and Playstation never will!" "What? We have to wait a year to recieve a single decent weapon and two crappy strikes? That's not fair, I'm telling mom!"

People like you need to realize that most financial decisions lie with the publishers of the game, not the developers.

Honestly I am ok with timed exclusives but not a whole year it's ridiculous
