I truly can not understand why some Xbox players are so upset. Well, I understand why, but I don't really think they have much of any reasoning behind it. You're still getting all the content, and the beta, they're just timed exclusive to Playstation platforms. It's independently developed content that Sony paid for in order to market the PS4. You're still getting the same game and all the base content that was originally intended for the game, not to mention that you'll still get the Playstation exclusive content later on anyway. I guess being on the other end of that stick this time sucks, doesn't it? Microsoft has been paying loads of cash for timed exclusive content for years (probably more than they spent on actual exclusives, but that's another story). Sony does it with Destiny and now Xbox players are throwing fits that Bungie has [i]"forgotten their roots"[/i] and is [i]"neglecting their fans."[/i] They haven't and they're not, they have fans on Playstation too you know. If I owned a PS3 [b]and[/b] an X360, can I not be both a Playstation fan and a Halo fan (and therefore a Bungie fan)? Personally, I think timed exclusive anything is a stupid idea regardless of who does it, but that's not the point. The point is some people are way overreacting to something that isn't even a problem. When Xbox was getting the deals, Xbox players had nothing to say. When Playstation gets a deal, now its unfair. You want to be given more than Playstation players or you want to receive exactly the same as Playstation players, but if you're given less, you throw a fit. [b][u]Again, I'm generalizing. Not all Xbox players are like this so please don't take this personally.[/u][/b]
Oh and lets not forget, the GTA IV DLC was exclusive to the Xbox 360 for a year. GTA had become what it was up to that point as a Playstation franchise, but the Xbox 360 version is getting the timed exclusive content? Outrageous. No, wait, its just business. You have to deal with it (or get the other console). I chose to just wait the year out for the GTA IV DLC. And hey, the additional content really wasn't really anything special anyway.
Activision spent approximately $500 million to fund the development of Destiny. Avtivision (and Bungie) has every right to do whatever they feel they need to do to make that money back and then some. If they feel that promoting one console over the other will help them then that's what they're going to do. And lets not forget, in Japan, Destiny will only be available on Playstation consoles. If they gave Xbox special treatment, it would not help them in Japan. And not just Japan. Playstation tends to outsell Xbox in other countries. Really, Bungie is being smart with what they're doing. Sure this situation sucks if you're an Xbox player, but its business and you just happen to be getting the short end of the stick with Destiny. Welcome to the club Xbox, welcome. We Playstation players are used to it. Trust me, it'll be OK. Once 9/9 comes around, no one will care about any of this. We'll be too busy playing this great game.
Sorry for the long read. Went on a bit of a rant there and I didn't intend to.

I will only point out one thing just to be fair because you seem to be forgetting about how Sony has done this many times themselves before. Every Assassin's Creed game has had exclusive content for playstation gamers that NEVER came to Xbox 360 gamers, Watchdogs also has exclusive content the will never be on Xbox platforms. The Batman games have exclusive content only on playstation as did Mortal Kombat. So true while Microsoft does get timed exclusive content for COD and other games, Sony has had real exclusive content for many games.

Edited by MysticJon: 7/15/2014 3:48:58 PMThe amount of exclusive or timed content Sony has gotten for their games can't even touch what Microsoft has gotten for their games. Yes it has happened on both sides, but the score isn't even close. The scale of the content should also be noted. For example, a couple of exclusive Assassin's Creed missions or an exclusive character in Mortal Kombat is nothing compared to getting map packs one month in advance or getting GTA IV DLC a year later.

So what Sony has gotten out of exclusive deals doesn't even COMPARE to what MS has done and continues to do. Hell, PS owners don't even get to try the BETA for Evolve. In the end, it's just business.

Edited by Jarac Rassen: 7/15/2014 6:37:47 AMExactly! I owned 360 and PS3 last gen, so I've been on both sides of the fence. I now own a PS4 and am happy that Sony managed to get the exclusivity deal. Does it suck for Xbox players? Yes, and I do feel sympathy for them. But before this, they felt little if any sympathy when MS was throwing cash left and right to either deny PlayStation whole games (like they did with Titanfall) or to withhold DLC for a year or more (GTA IV being a perfect example). In the end, the DLC is so minuscule that no-one will care. Especially since we'll be on separate servers; now no-one will even notice when the game drops.

Well said.

Nail on the head mate. X box fan boys are funny. I do feel for them, they are getting hit daily and the more angry they get the funnier it is for me.

I personally agree with both sides of this issue, however I find it pointless to pick on the Xbox players for it shall only further separate the community.

You are nice, I like the way you think.

Edited by MysticJon: 7/14/2014 9:42:11 PMI sympathize with Xbox players when it comes to Destiny, I really do. Being mainly a Playstation player, this kind of thing has been happening to Playstation players for years. Xbox players are allowed to be upset about it, to a degree. But if Playstation players were able to survive it for years, Xbox players will survive this.
