Last gen held us back to 30 frames per second.
If Bungie had left them behind for Destiny we could have had 60 fps on a PS4/Xbone exclusive. That's not even touching on the idea that time spent on the PS3/360 version could have been further applied to a better next gen version.
Should Bungie have sacrificed people on last gen systems in the interest of making Destiny the best it could be?
Update: Don't shoot the guy asking the question. The numbers don't lie, and they show the community is pretty evenly split on this one.

No because the install base is way too big to ignore. However by next year I think it is perfectly acceptable to stop supporting last gen consoles especially if they release on PC, they already said they couldn't do PC at launch because they QA each platform individually in house. I also imagine by holiday 2015 there will be at least a $50 price drop making next gen consoles more affordable. IT would be smart of bungie and activision however to announce their plans to do so by no later then E3 2015 so it gives people time to save up for it though.
