I honestly can't understand the hate towards PS... its swings and round abouts mate... Xbox will get exclusive content on another game soon enough. It's how it works, they have their core base of halo following and now they are trying to get PS users to do the same that's all... your time will come again soon... just chill.

I'm not playing another game, I'm playing Destiny. Saying that some other game that I likely will have NO interest in (which is pretty much every other franchise out there, like CoD, GoW, Borderlands, Assassin's Creed, and all the wash-rinse-repeat zombie obsessed wastes of disc space, for starters) will one day get an xbox exclusive bit of content is irrelevant. I spent my money on Destiny. I spent the same amount of money as every other player who purchased Destiny (unless they didn't spring for the limited edition, or dug deeper for the Ghost edition). It is not the least bit unreasonable for me to expect to get the same content I paid for as everyone else, particularly when coming from the console family that MADE Bungie what it is today. You can mock the Halo following, but had it not been for the Halo players, Bungie would most likely still be 5 guys working out of a garage in the middle of nowhere instead of being one of the top names in gaming. I'm not saying they should bow down and kiss our feet for keeping them going for over a decade, I'd just like a little more than empty lip service while they give exclusives to the people who were so stubbornly set in supporting Sony that they couldn't even be bothered to pick up an xbox at a garage sale for 10% of the retail price so they could see for themselves what all the Halo fuss was about.

Woah... If you took my post that I apologise. I'm not mocking halo at all! I love that whole saga an my friend who has xbox let me co-op the whole thing with him. I'm just saying each console gets exclusives. It's a trend that has happened and will forever more happen that way

I'm fine with certain exclusives. For now, Halo is xbox exclusive. For the longest time Final Fantasy was a playstation exclusive. Pokemon, thus far, is Nintendo exclusive. I have no problem with individual console families having their exclusive "flagship" franchises, so to speak. But when you do a cross-platform game, the only reason anyone should get something the other doesn't should be a matter of "their hardware can handle it and yours can't." When the Smackdown Vs Raw series was on Xbox, Playstation, and the Wii I had no problem with each console having a unique features. The Wii, for example, was the only one to get motion controls because, at the time, Nintendo had the only motion-control supporting console (eventually Sony ganked their idea with the PS Move and Xbox decided they could supposedly "push the envelope" by eliminating the controller entirely in exchange for having to calibrate the stupid thing every single time). That kind of exclusivity I can understand. But saying "we're going to give this console an exclusive for at least a year, maybe more, we're not telling, and we're doing this because, uh...reasons, yea, that's it. Reasons. But hey exclusives happen, right? No big deal." Sorry, it kinda is. Honestly, I hate that kind of exclusive. I also hate retailer exclusives because let's face it, even if everyone has the money to buy the same thing, not everyone has access to the same stores (and then you have the morons like 343 who say "hey, let's have 15 different retailer exclusives that would force a gamer to buy no less than 6 redundant copies of our game to get them all!"). And then there's the simple fact that if you make something exclusive to a retailer, that retailer will not necessarily have the supply to keep up with the demand. Exclusives hurt the gamers, period. It doesn't do anything to the studios, or the developers, or the console kings.
