EXCLUSIVES TO SONY, BUT HERES THE REAL QUESTION.

WHY? GOOD QUESTION. Obviously a contract was made between Sony and Bungie to guarantee exclusives for playstation, BUT. The question is, WHY. Clearly, Sony paid some cash for that, in hopes it would sway a many a folk to buy a playstation, to have the "superior" destiny console. What I don't understand is that, WHY, did Microsoft not make this deal. Now let's get something straight, Microsoft is SO F*CKING RICH, the second wealthiest company in the world (behind apple), Bill Gates who helped to found it, is so f*cking rich, he alone could buy out sony, bend it over a barrel and ride that f*cker into the ground, and he would still be one of the richest men in the world, no sweat. SO, Just imagine how much cash the entire company has. It seems Microsoft could have easily made that contract right? But there's more to it, now I'm not sure about what happened exactly. No one knows if Microsoft just didn't see the opportunity as feasible or outright decided, F*ck you Bungie, for even considering another console as your exclusive outlet. And the latter makes more sense to me, because listen up. Obviously Halo was an outstanding franchise that "defined a generation" and popularized first person shooters, made them mainstream. But did you ever think to realize who made Bungie!!!?, F*cking MICROSOFT MADE BUNGIE WHO THEY ARE TODAY, without Microsoft taking a leap, signing Bungie in to the squad and taking them under their wing, guiding them to greatness, you likely wouldn't know what the f*ck I was talking about when I said Bungie, you'd probably think I was some weird assmotherf*cker talking about trampolines or some sh*t. Bungie owes EVERYTHING to Microsoft. So it begs the question, WHY, WHY did Bungie choose Sony over Microsoft, over the company that nurtured and cared for their frightened newborn baby of a company in Bungie? I DONT KNOW. But it pisses me the f*ck off and poses as a monumental curiosity in my eyes! Thank you for your time. #nintendo?¿(•.•)¿?

    It was a deal with Activision, same as the CoD exclusives. Microsoft's big money makers are CoD & Halo along with a long list of other exclusive games (most only available to Xbox consumers). They would rather direct their money towards something they knew would return the profit vs something new that could be great but could just as likely fail. Thats how they look at it. Microsoft actually has bungie stocks and has a great relationship with the company. All we can do is hope that we get the exclusives next time around and if we don't, it's not a big deal. I mean, when/if this "Comet" expansion releases, we get 7 new strikes vs just the 4 that PS will get. Yes it's because they already have it but in terms of content, it will sure feel like we are getting a lot more which I'm glad for. Edit: look at it this way, Sony paid for more content to be developed for destiny along with exclusive marketing rights. What does that mean for us? They paid for us to get more stuff, we just don't get it for a year
