Bungie speaks as to why it will not have cross generation play. [spoiler][i]"I’ll speak for the hypothetical player. I have a disadvantage sniping across the map because [my opponent with a new-gen console] is only two pixels on my screen and I’m four pixels on his. You see that in the world of PC gaming, where people are always racing to the best video card to give themselves the advantage. Regardless of where the reality is, there’s definitely a perception among gamers that better hardware means you have an advantage. We don’t want to have to enter that fray, so to create the best, most level playing field, both actually and perceptually, we separated it by platform."[/i] - Bungie Engineer Roger Wolfson Source: http://www.playstationlifestyle.net/2014/07/17/bungie-explains-why-destiny-cross-platform-play-isnt-happening/#/slide/1[/spoiler] Bungie explains that account transferring between generations is confirmed and supported. [spoiler][i]"Because there’s going to be a lot of people who buy Destiny on a PS3 or Xbox 360 and then they get a PS4 or Xbox One for Christmas. Then it’s like, ‘Don’t tell me just wasted my last four hours there.’ So we’re really interested in supporting that."[/i] - Bungie Employee Tyson Green Source: http://m.ign.com/articles/2014/04/28/how-destiny-handles-cross-generation-save-transfers[/spoiler] I cannot find any information regarding shared console server play. I believe I either had some info in my original post wrong or the status on the subject has changed since then. The closest I can find is Deej confirming your character is locked into the company you play the account on. Which is a indication that cross console servers was not or currently no longer the case. [spoiler][i]"you can move from PlayStation to PlayStation and from Xbox to Xbox, but not across product lines."[/i] - Bungie Community Manager DeeJ Source: http://www.bungie.net/en/News/News?aid=11938[/spoiler]
