Bungie are banning players that use or have previously used modded consoles to play Destiny, presumably in attempt to prevent cheating, though they never explicitly said this. They did say:

“We routinely review Banhammer actions to ensure that they are applied accurately and fairly," Bungie said. "A review of the bans applied over the last week shows that all of the affected accounts had logged into Destiny on a modified console at some point.”

There are plenty of YouTube videos of what I would consider ban-worthy offenses in Destiny, including people somehow getting rid of cooldown times, getting infinite ammo and increasing movement speeds in the game, which is either some kind of well-kept secret glitch exploitation, or a result of modded consoles.

I’ve never really understood the appeal of cheating, especially not in a capacity that actually requires modified hardware. Why? Isn’t it way more rewarding to just be good at a game, or succeed genuinely? It just seems pointless.
