Destiny is going to be massive. I was referring to biggest launch so far YTD.

You guys want a REAL bomb to drop?

I'm feeling generous.

Destiny PS4 pre-orders are already near the same level as Titanfall's were launch week.

LOL wtf is up with that? I seriously puzzled as to why people are so hyped for this game ? Whats the selling point for Destiny apart from Bungie.

That might be the answer. FPS usually do well and Bungie being on Sony platforms probably has people excited. 

Yep but Titanfall was also a FPS...and if Destiny already has such huge numbers then it will dwarf Titanfall. And titanfall had a reall good opening week.

I just don't see why it would do that much better than Titanfall, from a game point of view. Looking at the trailers etc. destiny has come across pretty average.

Like I said it probably has a lot to do with Bungie. People are hoping, from what I've seen, that Destiny turns into the next Halo or something. They have high expectations because of the pedigree of the studio. I will agree though that the latest material they've shown off has been boring. I'm hoping their E3 showing is better and that the beta is fun.
