Destiny : Why limit such an exciting game to consoles?

Hi all, As an owner of both a XBOX 360 and a custom built PC, and as someone who prefers their FPS games with mouse and keyboard interfaces (yes, I'm that old), I'm wondering why Bungie has decided to limit their new IP to just consoles? I know that both the PS4 and new XBOX will have much beefier hardware than the current generation of consoles are furnished with, but neither of them compare to the PC I've built (and mine is modest compared to most), so why not harness the power of Windows based platforms and also do a PC version at launch? Sure, the game may come to PC's later in the same way Halo eventually came to the PC, but I'd hope that triple A developers like Bungie would recognise that PC gaming is just as relevant as console gaming and given it the same respect. It's a shame, and if I'm honest a bit disappointing.

    I find it positively hilarious that people get flamed for wanting to play a game on a system they are comfortible with. Excluding the fact that your average computer has more power behind it than even the next gen systems will have, it just baffles me. Edit: to stay OT, While I would love to see it for PC, I doubt we will, especially not any time soon. The primary reason is as follows.These multiplayer games rarely are cross platform, that means one more thing that bungie has to worry about patching and keeping up to date.
