Bungie's Destiny has slightly favored the PlayStation consoles, releasing some content early and offering exclusive DLC. That trend will continue with the The Dark Below expansion, which will offer a timed exclusive Strike and an Exotic weapon to the PS4 and PS3 versions.

We've known there would be exclusive content include for Sony's customers, but the two additions were unveiled today on the PlayStation Blog. The Undying Mind Strike and The 4th Horseman Exotic Shotgun will be PS exclusives until at least Fall 2015.
The Strike mission, which generally need to be completed cooperatively with other players, will take place in the alluring Black Garden. Guardians will be pitted against an ancient Vex "machine-beast" as the Strike boss, sent to protect the Undying Mind.

The 4th Horseman boats "four barrels, five shots, and a sizzingly fast fire rate", making it an effective choice on all fronts--its fire rate is the fastest of its weapon type. The last round in the magazine deals bonus damage, and kills with the weapon automatically grant bonus ammo, which goes straight into your magazine.
Xbox players will likely feel hard done by these exclusions--the expansion is the same price on those consoles, after all, but they're not getting either of these additions. The two pieces of content aren't major (the Strike is a bigger deal than the gun, however), but the exclusivity deal is clearly restricting readily available content to PlayStation consoles only. The Dark Below launches December 9 on PS4, PS3, Xbox One, and Xbox 360.
