Make a poll.

Who spins better?

Destiny 2's "Biggest Console Launch"
Microsoft and the word "Exclusive"

"You should be banned. Youre clearly flaming the president and even his brother who you know nothing about. Dont be such a partisan hack"

Interesting that they wrote "engagement" and "digital sales" but gave no numbers. Sounds like when Halo 5 underperformed and MS tried to skew the sales without giving any actual numbers.

Did Halo 5 underpreform? Didnt it gross $500m at launch?

It didn't perform as good as Halo 3/4 sadly but will likely sell around the same level as Halo 2. MS used that $500m as a way to claim it grossed more than any other Halo but they didn't mention that the figure included bundles aswell which inflated the actual numbers. The only actual numbers we have gotten were from three months in when it stood at 5m sold, and after that we had no official words. Kinda sad since I love the game but these big companies like MS, Activision and Sony are to afraid of "bad publicity".

I know my friends list is not representative of the entire gaming populace, but it has been completely taken over by Destiny 2. I frequently have as many as 30 friends online playing Destiny so in reference I typically have had maybe 25 friends online period.

End of 2009 Predictions (Set, January 1st 2009)

Wii- 72 million 3rd Year Peak, better slate of releases

360- 37 million Should trend down slightly after 3rd year peak

PS3- 29 million Sales should pick up next year, 3rd year peak and price cut

D2 is great but the fact it seems selling better on PS Store but perhaps not so well in physical media and XBox electronic copies could be and indication that XBox players are migrating to PC. Looking at recent very low XBox sales numbers, it appears as the confidence on XBox is fading, and this is bad for consoles in general, as competition is what drives things forward.
