bolded: That is absolutely false. Multiplats, just as every other type of game, push consoles. Just look at what GTA pushed last year or what Cod pushes every year. Considering that about 90% of all games are multiplats it is safe to say that multiplats push the majority of consoles.

Agreed. Destiny should be one of the biggest system sellers this year. It will give both PS4 and X1 a boost, but PS4 probably more so due to Sony's deal with Bungie/Activision

I think I'm being misunderstood. I was using hyperbole when saying that multiplats don't push systems. They do, but you're not going to see a situation where having a multiplat like Destiny will give one platform the edge over the other, like what the OP is suggesting. This isn't COD on the 360 anymore. Destiny will sell more on the PS4 than the XBO because the PS4 has a larger installed base, not because the PS4 is "the definitive Destiny console" like what the 360 was to COD. In that light, was I saying that Destiny will push "exactly no PS4's." And by "exactly no," I meant "not enough to be considered at all signifigant."
You won't be seeing a signifigant amount of people specifically purchasing a PS4 over the XBO for Destiny because of any particular benefits that the game has on the PS4 over the XBO is what I'm trying to get across. The "Destiny boost sales" will come from people who want a next get system so badly, but are just waiting for a game to justify the purchase, and are too moronic to realize that a game available on the current gen system they already own isn't a justifiable reason to purchase next gen hardware. These people have already made up their mind on what console they wanted with no regard to Destiny, because it's a multiplat.

Why not? PS4 is the definitive Destiny console. It's exactly like the CoD situation. Exclusive ads, bundles and content are key.

But it's not. Not really, anyway. All that is is marketing jargon. No one buying Destiny for the XBO is feeling jipped or like they're getting a lesser version like with COD on the 360 at the start of last gen. It's absolutely nothing like the COD situation. It wasn't the exclusive content and bundles that sold COD to 360 owners last gen, it was Live, and Sony doesn't have that leg up over Live this gen, even if people agree that Plus is the better service. With Liv, it may as well have been the only service.
