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 was posted in October.. There is no reason to bumb this..
-
You get COD DLC a month early, tons of exclusives, and you can't handle us getting a few extra strikes? Wow....
-
This topic has been beaten to death.
-
As a fellow xbox user, I really couldn't care any less about exclusives. People getting all worked up and butthurt for nothing.
-
X-Box user will get the timed exclusive. A year later then it was released.
-
Know what's better, they'll probably charge us Xbox owners for that additional content when they finally do release it to us
-
Awwwwww poor little you.
-
Buy a playstation it's better anyway
-
Rly? Y bun- I mean activision! What has Xbox ever done to u?
-
Looks like u picked the wrong system
-
Is february "revive old posts" month or something? I don't know why someone brang this back up XD
-
This post legitimacy got my thinking about buying the dlc kinda done with the game anyway the fact bungie not showing the much needed love for xbox is just a slap in the face. Defiantly ready for a new game instead of dlc
-
Broseff. It was stated b4 destiny came out there would be ps4 exclusives. What didn't you understand about that? Should have gone with the better system ;)
-
You guys got halo so ya
-
Funny how you get the advanced warfare dlc before us, stop complaining
-
Seriously why do these old threads that are irrelevant keep coming up
-
It's a shame, too. The new Omnigal strike is my favorite. I guess it's to make up for all the PS3 and PS4 errors.
-
That's been know since the start that playstation gets dlc exclusives Comet will be the first dlc without any
-
Turns out this was a ripoff. This game will be dead before Xbox users get their hands on that content.
-
anyone read when this was made?
-
Edited by Torus: 2/5/2015 10:50:38 PMI love how your saying.... "they need to make exclusives available to everyone" First of all they will be available in a year so just wait your turn they are coming. Second: do you not have any idea how a Contract works? You don't just say "well Xbox players are mad so let's make it available to all" No Sony payed ALOT of money to have Bungie give them the exclusives. Plus Bungie signed that contract they are not allowed to just resign from it. Stop complaining other then Hawkmoon (which is badass PSN players your lucky) the exclusives are not that great.

If only Xbox people knew how shitty the exclusive strikes were no one want the undying mind or dust palace to get put in the nightfall loop that would be torture
-
yeah! well you are a - *sees post date* Oh, nevermind.
-
This is so old tho

I like the exclusive idea in terms of guns and armor. But a whole strike is shitty. I get to play the strikes as a PS4 owner. However, the strike levels can not be played on the hardest difficulty (nightfall or weekly). Open the strike levels to both consoles and give each system their own set of exclusive weapons, armors, and shaders. Then in the future when cross platform gaming evolves (which until we as gamers push the issue won't happen. And don't tell me they can't. They just have no reason to. we blindly spend money being happy with the way things are. If my alienware can play nice with a Mac anything is possible) we can use PS4 exclusives vs Xbox exclusives as a rivalry thing.

Xbox had bungie exclusively for years. Playstation gets 3 small things and Xbox owners throw a fit. Hypocrites much?
