The two main reasons Bungie made the deal with PS is
1. They wanted to make SURE that people knew that they were NOT making an Xbox exclusive game for another 10 years (Halo series)
2. Sony payed them the big monies which they needed to create Destiny (my only question is where did all that money go? Not into game dev!)

Actually... http://www.geek.com/games/bungies-destiny-was-originally-going-to-be-a-microsoft-exclusive-1604640/ [u][b]"Sony delivered a bank vault to the Activision offices to secure these exclusives, nothing had ever been confirmed. We still don’t have details confirming a financial transaction between Sony and Activision, but after looking at the original contract for Destiny it is clear a significant arrangement was made."[/b][/u] "Destiny was originally slated for the Xbox 360, as a temporary exclusive that would eventually become available to the Xbox One followed by PS3/PS4 and the PC. That clearly isn’t how any of this went down, as the game didn’t even launch until well after the next generation consoles had hit the market and there’s still no confirmation that we’ll ever see a PC version of the game. W hile there can be no doubt that Destiny is significantly better on the newer consoles, one can only imagine that the agreement between Sony and Activision had to have been truly significant in order for such a 180 to have been pulled after the initial contracts were signed." More of an Activision/Sony thing.
