Mac version. (Destiny)

Lots of good points in all this; I wholeheartedly agree. Another point you've not mentioned as well as the fact this is potentially a system-seller, is that these games don't have cross-platform play. Splitting up all the potential players between four different platforms instead of maybe one or two worsens the experience for gamers, without really necessarily hurting Bungie so much (they can still sell to all platform customers). Particularly once a product starts to get older, network effects can be vastly more damaging when you're starting off with a smaller audience, which is more likely when a game is on more, separate platforms, than one single über-platform. Just look how long people were playing Halo 2 for!
