That's the thing, what is considered unique content is sometimes subjective.

New raids is going to appeal to avid players, just like population boosts in CoD or Halo when new DLC is released. It just won't help the population grow.

Expecting the population to grow from what we see now is unrealistic. Especially given sales legs are kinda modest.

Modest compared with which game? I can do a comparision... VGC is showing the same drop is sales than the biggest releases that I think is part of how ioi calculates de sales of the games.

So the legz in VGC is pretty good.

Those legs should be better, that's needed for population growth!

You know... to compensate for those of us that basically stopped playing already.

These like you exists in every single game... there are a lot of CoD guys that stop to play after the first week because didn't like the next interation.

Traded game happens too.

Agreed, that's why this is unlikely...

I don't think that change the grow of the communnity... for each trade or gamer that don't play anymore other new gamers buy or start to play the game.

Notice that a lot of the disappointment is coming from the Xbox camp. Suppose it would be GOTG like Titanfall was if it was exclusive.

Still not on PS platform. So console exclusive across 360 & X1.  If PS owners didn't have Destiny on their platform, we'd be seeing a lot more praise for Destiny from the Xbox camp imo. Nitpick all you want, but my point still stands.

Nah, it's not really nitpicking if I am pointing out one of the main pillars in your conspiracy theory is flawed and/or invalid. If anything, it's nitpicking to classify a game as exclusive and then backpedal to "not on platform X". Bottom line is it's not exclusive. That's not even getting into the fact that merely by lumping people into one group and calling them the "Xbox camp" and generalizing some stupid shitty opinion onto the entire userbase here, you're demonstrating the exact type of silly console warz mentality you are mocking in the same post.

Lastly, the complaints of people here who happen to be Xbone owners, pretty much mirror the complaints of the vast majority of journalists, and even Playstation users around here. I mean, are you under the assumption Destiny is a critical hit and loved by most here? The game is somewhere in the 70's on metacritic and responses are mixed here on VGC even amongst PS users. It's not like this is a 98% metacritic gem that every PS user loves. Hope that helps?
