You guys actually think Destiny will sell 10 million? Do you know how hard it is for a game to sell 10 million copies? It is not like it happens on a monthly basis.

It will easily sell 10m. It will be on at least 4 platforms and it's made by Bungie and advertised by Activision (CoD says hello )

Wishful thinking...but miracles do happen!!!

2.5m per platform is really not wishful thinking. A Naughty Dog new IP can match their best selling titles, why can't Bungie's new IP match their best selling titles? It will, I'm sure of it. As long as there are no unexpected problems.

2.5 mil for each platform for it's maiden launch year!!! It's not going to happen!!! Maybe it will do 5-6mil but 10mil is lunacy for a new IP!!!

red dead redemption even though technicially isnt a new IP but its still a completely new franchise to pretty much everybody. it sold 12.5Million.
