No, and here's why: (Destiny)

The recent thread about the Destiny Companion App made me wonder: Why is it that Destiny is so reliant on 3rd party apps, websites, and features? It's the first console game I can think of that practically requires a player to use a 3rd party site or app in order to get full use from the game. I'm talking about these features:

Forming a group or raid for high end content
Accessing World event trackers and timers
Quickly swapping gear between your characters
Examining possible perks for gear, as well as comparing items when you don't actually own or have immediate access to one or both of the items that you want to compare.
PvP performance over time and world rankings
Actual weapon stats, TTK comparisons, etc..
Loot drop locations, chances, etc..
World lore and backstory. Actually, all "story," back or otherwise.
Predictions of vendor items which will show up later that week.
Vendor locations
Vendor inventories
Actual locations of bounty targets
Maps
etc etc etc

I feel like the last gen consoles are an easy place to look... Seems like Destiny presses against the technical bounds of the last gen consoles all the time in its current form. All of these other features might just melt the 360 or PS3.

There are other games out there on 360/PS3 that came out a long time ago and are able to do all these things and more.

Displaying text and listing items are not technically demanding features.
