It doesn't say they were offered destiny but from the info we can infer that destiny was definitely offered to Microsoft first due to the fact that it was supposed to launch on 360. For some reason, that whole situation broke down and turned into a game with playstation exclusives. Honestly, just from pure speculation, we know MS was looking into titanfall and threw TONS of money at respawn for it to be exclusive. They probably didn't want to invest in 2 scifi shooters...

  • And just to be super clear, I'm not saying that you're wrong. Its just really easy to speculate that something else might have happened.

  • Yeah of course. It's all speculation. Who knows what could have happened. Clearly something did and I'm sure the story behind it is interesting lol

  • That may well be the case. But just because the contract says Activision initially intended the game to be a XBOX exclusive doesn't mean that they ever approached Microsoft with a deal. Its very possible that once they realized the game wouldn't launch until the current console generation they changed their minds and decided to offer exclusive content to Sony instead. We know at dome point the plan did change, and it's hard to believe it was because Microsoft turned exclusive content down. Anyway, we cant know for sure and you may be right, but I find it hard to believe that Microsoft would pass up exclusive content on what was expected to be this gen's biggest new franchise. Especially since Microsoft has a pretty ruthless reputation when it comes to securing exclusive content.
