"...we walked uphill in the snow both ways..." (Destiny)

But by that reasoning Bungie is not Playstation either, yet it kinda feels like they're in bed together. I'm grateful that Destiny is releasing on the xbox platform. The big difference is that Playstation doesn't own Bungie like Microsoft did when they made Halo.

And if Sony owned them, Destiny would be a Playstation exclusive, which is not what is happening. I don't doubt there are always deals at work, and exclusive content is the way both console companies are remaining competitive when it comes to cross-platform games. I guess I'm just not that worried about it. It seems pretty cool that a nextgen title like this one is still going to be available for the system I already own. Beyond that it's just bells and whistles that aren't that important in the scheme of things. Frankly, it makes sense for Bungie to court the side of the market that has probably never even played a Bungie game. Seems like Sony got the jump on it anyway, so maybe there will be other options for Xbox later on.
