Destiny is doing a lot to keep people interested and buying the game though.  It is supposed to have fairly regular expansions come out, and the characters you create are built to be fully transferable between games.  So if you dont buy destiny, but buy the sequel, you can then take that character you created in destiny 2, and use it in destiny to play all the original content you missed.  This strategy actually seems like it will help drive sells for the first destiny after sequels come out rather than diminishing them.  

Maybe you should research destiny a bit more, there is a reason i am so bullish on its potential...

Outside of good DLC I don't see much else Destiny will be doing down the line and that's not going to give it legs, every year it will be battling COD and BF while once in a while you'll have the Halos, Dooms and so on popping in and if the's one thing about gamers they can have short attention spans especially the mainstream mob Destiny is taking aim at. How many people who buy Destiny 2 but never played the original do you really think will buy the first game because I don't see many especially for an online game as people move on from the old plus I don't think the will be any Destiny sequels for a long time going by Bungie's words as it defeats the whole publishing structure.

It will sell well but Destiny will be like Halo 2 where it sells well then become static and then just has continued support afterward, the X1 version has 3 bouts with BF, COD and Halo MCC this year alone with a heavy weight showdown with Halo 5 next year. Of all the versions you picked the one with the most buggered road ahead of it for your prediction, I'm certain this version will suffer long before the PS4 version.

Take it with a big grain of salt as I dont have anything super solid but Ive heard February release date thrown around.

Could still be this year though. There is a reason we still dont have a date.

if this is true then Ninty really goofed

They can't be that damn dumb, can they? >_>

Do you think Smash will outsell Mariokart? (It's just a normal question, I'm not saying mariokart will sell less than 6 million LTD.)


No.. I think MK U will do 10-20 mill. (dec 2018)

No.. Mariokart Wii is +35 mill.

So 10-20 mill could be 10 mill.. meaning not even a third.. or 18 mill.. like half of MK wii..

And that fully fits my expections for WiiU sale.. +50 mill..

Sorry, I must have confused mariokart Wii with something else. Now, concerning your 50m + prediction I have to say you are being VERY optimistic. It's in It's second year and still hasn't sold 7 million. How long do you expect the Wii U to be on the market?
