Console exclusivity is bad for everyone.

I'm on PlayStation, and I agree.

I'm on Xbox, and I agree.

First, let me say that I am on Xbox One. Second, let me say that even if I were to play Destiny on PlayStation, I would still be pretty pi**ed off by PlayStation Exclusive content. Why? Three letters. [i][b]R.N.G.[/b][/i] The bane of all who play Destiny, regardless of what console you play it on. On Xbox, you have to wait a year for any of the PlayStation-Exclusive Legendary armor or Exotic weapons... but because of RNG, it also makes thing more frustrating on PlayStation because the only way to get those items is to grind RNG. That means playing for days in the hopes that enemies drop those sweet Sublime Engrams so you can finally get your hands on the badass Legendary armor you want (especially if you want Commander Zavala's armor in the coming update), or worse grinding Exotic engrams in you want either a Jade Rabbit or the new Zen Meteor, since Xur can't sell console-exclusive weapons until they become available for everyone. This also means that buying a PlayStation 4 is not an option for any Xbox player who wants those items either, since there is no guarantee you'll actually get any of those items. Not to mention having to create a new Guardian (since your characters don't carry over between Xbox and PlayStation) and dropping another $400 bucks on a new console just for a slim chance to unlock some extra gear. Ergo, it's just not worth it. On the other hand, if Sony and Activision were to stop be a**holes and end this exclusivity garbage... we could, all of us players on Xbox and PlayStation alike, simply buy the PS-exclusive Legendary armor from the Vanguard, or have a chance to purchase the Exotics from Xur. Xbox players wouldn't be left out, and PlayStation players wouldn't have to grind as much. Anyway, that's my two cents on the subject.
