I'm probably going to get a bunch of PS fanboys angry with this post, so before you throw ranting at me, just don't bother because I don't care for it, nor will I spend time stooping down to your level of immaturity. I've been a Xbox player since the console came out, but before then I was a Playstation player (PS1, PS2). I also develop modifications and small scale game projects on my computer, so I own a development PC which blows both consoles out of the water in terms of specifications. I personally don't care about the console in terms of the hardware inside, they're both nearly identical and they both do the same thing. I chose based on my friends and the games we enjoy to play on the console, and that just happened to be Xbox. So, let's start with the obvious, yes both consoles own exclusives. Do I think this is a good idea? Absolutely not, it takes away potentially great games from all players by putting a paywall between them. And before you start throwing the Halo title at me, understand that Xbox has been locked away from some great titles on the PS end as well. Will this ever end? Probably not, only due to the fact that the console developers (MS, Sony) are only in it to make money, and will spend money to try to pull fans away from the competitor's console, and that's just the way things work. Sad and unfortunate for the gamers to lose out on titles, but the reality none the less. Now we have Timed Exclusives, something Activision is pretty notorious for. Again, this is something that both consoles have, and will continue to do to each other. For example, CoD is the obvious one, delaying DLC releases a month for some platforms to hold up to an exclusivity deal. However, the key aspect here is the point of payment, versus the point of delivery of the content. When you purchase a DLC pack for Call of Duty, you gain access to all of the content immediately, with nothing being held back from you based on the platform you're playing on. The complaint that many have on the Xbox side of things is simply that while they pay $20 for their DLC pack, they are being withheld a portion of the DLC release for exclusivity reasons, and on top of that it's for a period of 12 months, which is 11 months longer than 95% of other titles which only delay a single month. Then there's also the actual problem of the manner with this game's serious lack of content, you're essentially stripping away 20%+ of a single activity type in the game just to uphold an exclusivity deal. That's what is really "ticking" the nerves of the XB Players. If Activision really wanted to make a successful game, and have exclusives for this game what they would do is work out a cross-platform deal for both consoles so we could play together (PS3 / XB360, PS4 / XB1) and then only offer customization based exclusives for PS (Ships, Shaders, Rare Armor, Sparrows, Etc), and even then it should only be at the most 2 months exclusive. If I had a say over the industry as a whole, I would do away with exclusives in it's entirety. They are nothing more than deterrents for gamers based on the platform they own, and they only create threads like these in the game boards complaining about them. Again it's the publisher's fault here, but they are guilty of doing it none the less. I was seriously on the fence about BO3 after the disaster of AW for Activision, but the PS exclusivity pretty much sealed my permanent farewell from that series, an unfortunate trend that may continue if exclusives continue to exist for [b]both platforms[/b]. Just my two cents on this topic as a whole. The publishers and the console devs are screwing us all over based on our platform choice. All players are losing out on something they really wish they had. I know many PS players would have absolutely loved a Halo MCC for the PS4, and I personally would have been happy to see that.

I guess my only thing is yes it sucks Xbox has to wait but exclusives have been around for years. Heck take call of duty for example up until this year Xbox has always gotten everything early or certain weapons that playstation hasn't. It's nothing new to me I didn't own playstation until the release of destiny, at the end of the day it's all business and money

Your point is valid and your cause is noble. However, this is not the correct tree to bark up. Activision was the one who made the exclusive deal with Sony, not Bungie. As such, I doubt they have much power to change it. There's still a chance, though, now that Activision has moved CoD to PS for exclusives for the time being, that perhaps Destiny 2 will switch to Xbox, allowing to double dip their market share once again.

Year seems fair. Since PS has the majority of the destiny players

Your in thr wrong forums Your beef is with Microsoft. Activision offered exclusives to Sony and MS. MS turned them down Go bitch at MS in thier forums if you realy feel the need to complain

You do know that Bungie has nothing to do with this deal right? The content release is controlled by activision. The contract is between Activision and Sony. Bungie is just the odd man.

Get a PS4....
