I don't know who came up with exclusive story to be honest. At most it could be timed exclusive to xbox. Bungie is now a 3rd party studio and signed a 10 year publishing  contract with Activision. To best of my knowledge Activison doesn't make/publish non-multiplatform games. I don't see why they won't want to make more money by launching the game on as many devices as possible. 

If Bungie really wanted to stick with XBOX brand they could have just expanded their studio and made a new ip for it. Microsoft would have loved to keep the talent under their company for sure. 

No one came up with it, but it is exclusive. Leaked court documents showed a contract for the Destiny game. It states in the contract that the first release for Destiney will be developed for Xbox 360 and the 720 with a 2013 release. It then states that a PS3 verson (not PS4) would release a year later in 2014 if it is finacially sound.

Well leak documents are not a solid confirmation as you can see from next gen rumour threads. I can see it happening though as Bungie has good relationship with Microsoft. Also they have no experience developing for playstation so the extra time might help with the port if that is "financially sound". 

Just don't get their reasoning behind signing with Activision instead of Microsoft but who knows what goes behind the scenes.
