Last gen held us back to 30 frames per second.
If Bungie had left them behind for Destiny we could have had 60 fps on a PS4/Xbone exclusive. That's not even touching on the idea that time spent on the PS3/360 version could have been further applied to a better next gen version.
Should Bungie have sacrificed people on last gen systems in the interest of making Destiny the best it could be?
Update: Don't shoot the guy asking the question. The numbers don't lie, and they show the community is pretty evenly split on this one.

Having it available on last gen systems takes up more time for maintenance and work on keeping so many servers. Keeping it only on the new gen systems not only does it give incentive for people to get one, but it allows for more players to be grouped when they do. Essentially was a greedy move to make more money instead of looking towards the future where a 360 and ps3 won't live.
