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.

The problem with exclusive content is the time frame in which it is exclusive....COD was only a month, where Destiny is an entire year. Even know i love this game, they are shooting themselves in the foot by having a lengthy exclusive. Most games can not hold a gamers attention for an entire year. Especially when a good portion of content (which destiny does not have much of) is being available to only roughly half the gamers.

I'm on ps4 and it's messed up you guys haven't gotten at least some of the stuff yet. What's taking Bungie so long? Personally I don't think most of the stuff we have is any good but hawk moon and I've been on the other side of situations like this and it's not fun.
-
I would just like to to say w.t.f. I just got -blam!-. Probably going to happen with the second dlc as well. How to screw your customers for dummies.
-
I will never buy a play station. Fk sony
-
Heard the ps4 strikes are a pain in the ass. They can keep em.
-
This would be the same exact argument if xbox had the exclusive deal stop -blam!-ing complaining were getting the exclusives when comet comes out
-
Who the -blam!- nerco bumped this?
-
Hawkmoon master race

Guys this thread is from October 2014...

I just think ps4 can keep their garbage weapons and strikes but since xbox didn't get that it should've been at least $10 cheaper. Same goes for any game prev. gen vs. next gen since quality & graphics are reduced on prev. gen. Why do they cost the same? It's stupid.
-
We will get that content eventually. I do feel like they are holding it out too long though. I'm not going to go out, buy a ps4 AND a ps4 copy of Destiny AND the dlc and then ditch my xbox progress just to start over on a new set of characters which would be the only reason to keep the content ps4 exclusive.

"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." That is exactly why Sony paid Bungie/Activision more money for the exclusive content. It was a very smart business move on Sony to keep a leg up against a competitor that usually thrives in a FPS environment. It's not as if Bungie gave it to PS4/PS3 owners for free here. Plus, keep in mind that the content is 'timed' content. You're getting it eventually. In terms of your comment about fatigue, I assure you that the 2 extra strikes and 3 extra weapons aren't adding a ton of extra play time. We're all feeling the fatigue here.
-
Again with the same post. Is anyone else tired of the same recycled crap? Smh
-
Oh for... Can we just stop with these posts? We will get the content in September. Instead of whining, be thankful. Sony didn't bring enough money or were denied the option to make destiny an exclusive game.
-
At least Sony doesn't have your credit card info.. Sony is an easy target for hackers. They have already leaked tons of info, phone numbers, & credit card numbers.
-
Makes sense, because we've all played tomb raider for 100 hours. Go -blam!- your self kid, I'll bet you weren't on CoD complaining whe. You got exclusives and got everything a month early. 20+ tears collected..
-
Everything you currently are missing you are getting in Fall 2015. As they have stated several times. Shut the -blam!- up already, ffs. All you Xbots do is whine when you knew about this shit before the game dropped. Long before it dropped. It's not an entire game like the new Tomb Raider, just two strikes and three guns that you get in a couple months. Continuing to bitch will not change their mind. It's done. Nothing will change it.
-
Xbox would have exclusives but they didn't pay the extra money for them so PS will always have an exclusive.
-
That strike sucks i refuse to play it. Bungie trolls with that strike
-
Shut up meg you should have gone with ps rather than xbox (ex xbox user)
-
Quit ur bitching and buy a ps3/4

-
Exactly and before playstation users go on about how Xbox users get cod dlc early we only get it 1 month early not a YEAR early and we still get the same amount of content
-
1. Bungie didn't want to seem like they only make deals with Microsoft for another 10 years 2. Sony payed the big bucks

Edited by Phi-7: 2/9/2015 11:13:38 AMI think Rocket McDickface is a temporary exclusive, so it should be 6 out of 9 for the xbox by HoW. Though they aren't missing much, as the timed exclusives are at times...painful. Did I mention how much I hate Rocket yet? Edit: I have a feeling Something just flew over my head.
