Ex-Bungie Community Guy Matt Soell, who was with the company during the early Halo days, has penned a response to some of the complaints about Destiny's reveal being more "hype" than "substance". It's well worth a read, so please go take a look (Warning: little bit of NSFW language. No images, but some imagery.)
If you ask me, though, the crux of the issue is right here:
Ben Kuchera at the Penny Arcade Report seems optimistic about the possibilities for a PC version of Destiny. That's good, I suppose, given the number of people threatening dire consequences to Bungie on Twitter if they don't.
IGN's commentary around the ViDoc reveal was very pessimistic about the possibility, saying Bungie would only mention current and next-gen consoles, but Bungie's Pete Parsons has given PC owners reason to hope:
Activision/Blizzard has posted their official press release. I've archived it here. Near the bottom they put a tidbit for Bungie fans with a penchant for rampant speculation:

According to the available contract, the first retail product based on the Destiny IP is tentatively planned for a release in Fall 2013.
No release date has been announced.
Activision held an earnings call in early 2013 that indicated they were not expecting any Destiny revenue during 2013.
Destiny will not have crossplatform multiplayer across console platforms. It is not confirmed whether or not it will have cross-generational multiplayer between different versions of one company's console (say, whether Xbox 360 players will be able to play with Xbox 720 players).
