Well they're reusing an engine and assets, plus some users have(to my dismay) made pretty compelling arguments for just how big the gap of digital sales might be

Destiny 2 will no doubt sell less than the original .. but to be honest it's gap might end up being way closer to what most sequels to super popular games are, then we originally thought.

Do you believe that digital sales will make it come close to the 12-13m of the first Destiny spread over multiple systems (PS4, Xbox One, PS3, 360). I think not. At all.

Of course not. I said "closer than we originally thought" not "wow this game will do gangbusters!" Maybe I should have been a bit more clear...

Going over the numbers a bit again, I do realize that my statement that it may be closer to what many video games sequels do is perhaps a bit misguided. Especially now where a lot of sequels do extroardinarily well. It will probably do half, or a bit more than half, the original. And that's if it gets consistent support...

Still, I do think it's important to take into consideration the small gap that a bigger digital attach rate can give. Which is all my comment was really getting at Just a friendly reminder.

No. no. We're done proffesionally Alchy.

;-P



So everything bombed.

Well, except Knack 2, that will obviously leg it out to the moon and back.



I wonder how much Knack 2 would have gotten without the whole meme thing.



great,destiny 2 had bad sales(in comparison with the first one).I hope it gets even worse.I can't stand activision anymore.

I admit I find a certain perverse pleasure in seeing Knack 2 and Destiny 2 underperform given how terrible their predecessors were.



I think Destiny 2 could have a digital rate of maybe 50%.
