Both Destiny and Guitar Hero could've ended up as Xbox exclusives - if Microsoft Gaming lead Phil Spencer hadn't "passed" on signing the now iconic titles.
Speaking at a PAX West panel, Spencer reveals that Xbox considered signing Bungie's beloved sci-fi shooter but ultimately chose not to: "Getting the pitch for Destiny on 'do we want to sign this' - we ended up not signing Destiny. It obviously went with Activision, and to see what it grew into, like from a business kind of Xbox standpoint, I can look at it … and it's just a really interesting journey in terms of what [Bungie] built."
