It sucks, as a PS player I understand your feelings. But you also have to understand that Bungie is required to make things this way because of the contract Activision has with Sony. That's why they always say "at least..." because it lets them change it when they want.
What we see here is that Sony [i]really[/i] -blam!-ing wants you to play on their console. That's why they are showering us with gifts. They want to make Xbox players sad that they can't get these gifts and use that to lure them to Sony consoles.
Don't you see? With all you Xbox players crying about these exclusives, you are all proving that Sony's strategy is working.
The only way to stop these exclusives is to buy a PS4. I guarantee you if you buy a PS4 you won't feel sad about these exclusives.

How does complaining prove that it's working, the goal of exclusives is to get people to choose your console and switch, nobody's switching for a few guns
-
Complaining about it shows their interest. With enough interest one will buy a PS4. It's just a matter of time. That seems to be their strategy.
-
People don't spend 1000 $ and reset their progress in every game they own for a few guns, that's been proven time and time again, exclusive game might do that, but exclusive content hurts everybody because every other game has exclusive content for the other console so there's no one console that has it all so people don't switch
-
What im saying, is that Sony's plan is to excite Xbox gamers and generate their interest in the hopes that they will be lured to their side. The part that I said is working is the "generating interest" part. Its ultimately up to the player to switch or not
-
And what I already said, it fails time and time again because no one side has a majority of the game exclusives so nobody switches consoles for exclusives on multiplatform games, people do not switch for that reason, ironically it makes people hate that company more, it's a shady business practice

Stating your point is more valid because you know or have seen people that contradict the other point is a logical fallacy, regardless there are 300 million plus people in the US alone, statistically 3 people is indeed nobody because that percentage is beyond negligible
-
But who in their right mind would buy a new console and lose their progress just for a few average guns and horrible maps.
-
The people who want the "few average guns and horrible maps" so bad they complain about it on forums. That is who Sony is targeting. Judging from the posts on the forums recently I'd see they hit the nail on the head with this.
-
Complaining on the forums costs nothing, switching consoles and games costs ~1000$
-
So what exactly is your point by saying switching costs money. Obviously it does thats the whole point, they [i]want[/i] you to drop money for them. And theres people who have made the jump for whatever reason.

I could not have been any more clear in my past two comments, I have no more desire to discuss this with you it's clearly a waste of time
