As frustrating as it is for xbox users not having any exclusive content found on Playstation (extra pvp map, extra strike, extra exotics) and also all the PS4 events like the the ninja bounty, it must be really frustrating for all the creative people at Bungie to have the execs get in the way of their creation.
Now it was announced today that Playstation will be getting another exclusive strike with the new dlc (and I can only assume same will go with the House of Wolves dlc) increasing the number of strikes to 9. This sucks because xbox owners who have spent the same amount of money on destiny and the season pass only get 7 and strikes are a key point in the replayability of Destiny. Bungie messed up because of the deal with Playstation they are hurting their customers on xbox which will result in player drop off and thus not being able to sustain the number of players desired for their 10 year plan. I really like this game and I am an xbox one owner who is starting to feel the fatigue. With all the great options for games, I doubt i will be able to make it 1 full year to get the content that shouldn't have been taken away in the first place.
PS4 exclusives only benefit Playstation (not Playstation owners) because its designed to get people who either don't have a system and are using this game as a justification to purchase a console or the people who have both to buy it for their system. Gamers lose because of all these deals (Xbox lost on Destiny but PS lost on Tomb Raider worse imo), Programmers/Artist/Writer lose because the things they worked hard on are purposely not distributed to everyone. Sony and Microsoft win because people are forced to choose.
I wish the console wars were more about developing new exclusive ips (Gears, Last of Us) and not cutting content (Tiger Woods releasing 19 dlc courses for $50 same day the game came out) or timed releases (cod). As a side note, retailer exclusives need to stop too.
I hope bungie is addressing this issue and coming up with ways to rectify the exclusivity mistake. A few suggestions I have are:
- xbox events (along with ps events)
- additional free weapons/ armor (diluting the benefits ps owners get)
- additional free add on strikes or variants (different enemy placement would do wonders)
- modified strike playlist (playlist should have special currency and maybe less weapon xp)
---- example: only green/purple ammo drops from enemies (rocket strike would be so fun)
---- example: weapon type buffs (scout riffle would be OP for the strike)
- more venders that accept vanguard marks (maybe some that accept a third currency that you get from my modified strike playlist suggestion)
- confirmation that after the contract is over ps and xbox will have the same content
Please feel free to add on to my list and hopefully bungie will fix this so that we don't see this as common business practices in the future.

This post is 200 years old. Stop commenting on ps exclusives.
-
Well considering bungie can do nothing about this since they are in a contract with Sony you need to just wait it out and stop complaining
-
You aren't missing out on much cept for hawkmoon. Every other ps exclusive content is shit. Psion flayers is just defend dinklebot x3. Undying mind is a reverse black garden with another sekrion. 4th horseman and Monte Carlo are shit. The argus set is shit [b]but[/b] cosmetics of it aren't bad. The crucible maps don't offer much.
-
I have Xbox. Would it be nice? Yeah. Deal it man.
-
What's the nija bounty
-
Simply solution: Switch to playstation.
-
Butt hurt Xbox fanboy you've had the month early dlc for cod and the exclusive legends on Fifa get over it and stop your whining
-
Dear poster, Please keep in mind that these are TIMED exclusives, and will be available to xbox users by fall 2015. I believe they are sort of an "early access" to strikes that will come in the future (such as the undying mind coming with the hive dlc, its probably part of the vex dlc). And either way, I think bungie has treated you guys well enough for 10 some years (Halo?). So its only fair we get a little taste of exclusivity from bungie.

Mate destiny is the shitst game going you pay for the full game and only get a chance of getting good stuff being on the xbox you get lrss stuff the game is so repetitive and xbox gets less the only thing to do on the game past level 28 is raid nightfalls and weekly one - three times a week I add weeklys are getting more n more point less because xur sell horse shit especially if your a warlock 300 or something coins to spend on ammo synths... if xur sells that oh wait its useful so the chances drop. Guys who have xbox one I say sell destiny download the free game called warframe and use the money you get back from destiny to pay for good stuff on warframe solves loads of problems with destiny
-
And Xbox is getting the new Tomb Raider. You argument is invalid.

Stop crying bitch

Or instead of bungie loosing a lot more cash for not honouring the deals you could buy a ps4. Also your moaning that Sony got in there with the deals on destiny but it makes a bloody change from Microsoft doing it.
-
Well, it worked. My decision to buy a PS4 was confirmed due in no small part to the exclusives.
-
Look at the date posted people.
-
i was thinking the same back then when i couldnt play fallout 3 , fallout new vegas , skyrim dlc's on ps3

Edited by SHEER_AUTHORITY: 2/8/2015 9:44:24 AMYou should have bought a PS4 if your experience with destiny means that much to you. Bungie was very forthright about the timed exclusive content and said out right that the best destiny experience was on PS. You have only yourself to blame for buying the Xbox and limiting your own experiance and tomb raider is a timed exclusive so who cares I'm still going to play it some day. Just be happy you even have access to destiny and there is no exclusivity mistake.. you still bought destiny and they made their money. If Bungie knows what's good for them they won't do a damn thing extra for xbox owners after promising that the best place to play destiny was on a PS4. Get over it and go play halo.
-
Be happy that they even made this game for xbox. Remember when Halo was only for xbox. It would of been just fine for Destiny to be exclusive to Playstation.
-
Microsoft has exclusives with call of duty and nobody bats an eye. Playstation gets it with destiny and everybody loses their minds.
-
Bungie is butthurt at what Microsoft did to them, and when they decided to work with Activision(dumbest Idea ever) they decided to help sony push more than xbox because they dont like microsoft anymore, plus microsoft ruined Halo 4 along with 343 Industries that's the main reason Bungie diesn't like Microsoft as much
-
Hahah bungie payback for halo only be xbox exclusive. Muahahha
-
Could be worse destiny could have been a console exclusive
-
No big deal I have gta v, advanced warfare, assassins creed unity, master chief collection, and forza horizon 2 I think I'm good. To be honest I expect nothing less from bungie at this point just glad I didn't buy the season pass like several others who thought this game was going to be a masterpiece.
-
The exclusive strikes blow. I'm so dreading when Xone users get the Psion flayer strike. Not because I don't want them to have it but because I don't want that damn strike to be in the Nightfall/Weekly rotation. As for guns it does suck you miss out on Hawkmoon for a year.
-
Buy a different game. Ps misses out on stuff too. I just won't buy it. Problem solved. You are obviously wrong about them losing money because if it or they wouldn't have done it. It's a business isn't it?
-
In the long run i think this will help the longevity for the xbox destiny community..
