So, I thought I would revisit this with destiny 1's time in the sun coming to a close. Destiny ended up getting repackaged several times when it's expansions came out. If we add up all the different destiny packages for Xbox one this site has it just slightly below 5 million and smash for the Wii U at 5 million. So, if we take these numbers as fact then my prediction is a failure...😒

However, I still think I was right, even if it wasn't by as big of a margin as I originally thought. I think with digital sales the Xbox one version would be in the lead.

Also, I can't believe people thought smash would outsell the PS4 version (or all versions combined)!!

Destiny was a huge disapointment, but it sold ok.



My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.

It was and wasn't.  It has glaring faults and moments where you would ask yourself what were the developers thinking.  However, even with all those frustrations, I still sunk hundreds of hours into the game.  

 

But, the game was a lot more polarizing than I originally thought it would be which is why my prediction is still a little iffy.

The only problem is like Switch. Nintendo buyers don't have a wide selection of other games. That's one of the reasons Nintendo's first party games sell well on their systems and most are generally good games. Destiny will have to battle against a wide variety of games. I think in the US and Europe if the reviews are good it will. Japan I don't know. It'll be close. Smash is a good game. Destiny is a lot of fun. A lot of people I know that got it loved it despite the reviews.

Yeah it did well to get close to the xb1 version but the ps4 version is a whole other ball game. Who said Smash would outsell both?

A few people did if you look back through the thread.

Well at this moment,if we take into account the hardware totals of wii u+3ds it would be similar to the totals of xbone and ps4 then you would be right in saying that sm4sh sold more with 3ds and wii u than destiny on ps4 and xbone(physical copies) that is because we dont know about digital numbers

According to this sites numbers yeah, it would be wrong.  If we add up all the numbers destiny for PS4 and Xbox one are sitting at 13.2 million and smash for 3ds and Wii U would add up to 12.77 million.  Certainly pretty close.  However, who knows how accurate those numbers actually are and they don't include digital sales.  So anytime I see numbers that close on this site, it generally could go either way.
