Cross Platform Saving

As we all know, Destiny is going to be put on as many platforms that Bungie can make possible. Hopefully, there will be a PC version in the times to come. So, let's create a scenario. I make a character on my brand new Xbox One (or Ps4, 360, whatever). Now, this character becomes super powerful, and I've invested dozens of hours into making him the persona he is today. BOOM! Destiny comes out for PC (or I wanna switch consoles or something). So, I want to get it for PC instead of my measly console. But wait! You have a spectacular character that you've put many tens of hours into crafting! What happens to him? Will Bungie have a cross platform sort of system in order for me to transfer my beloved creation? Or am I doomed to be stuck to one single console? Alright, thanks for bearing with me there. That's the best I could get the point across. I suspect Bungie will be operating Destiny in a sort of, cloud based system. This would allow players to break the platform barrier, and would make Destiny far more convenient for everybody. What do you think? Is it possible?

  • Bungie would seem to have their own dedicated servers, but unless it's a single server for all platforms it wont happen. If 360/XBone share a server, PS3/4 share a server but don't interact then I see no way they'd transfer characters just for the time and effort it would take. It's like MMOs (who use the server structure Destiny is), you can't transfer an EU character/account to the NA version of the game because they're different servers. In the end it'll really boil down to if they use separate servers for Sony and Microsoft or not. I personally don't think they'll use a single unified server.
