Oh what a massive breach of 10 milliion that is, a whole 14 million on a single console during the prime of its lifetime. The greatest selling FPS of all time sold 14 million.... Wii Fit sold 22 million. Mario Kart Wii sold 35 million. Yes I am not combining console sales from across multiple platforms since we are talking about single platforms here. Destiny isn't call of duty so I am betting it sells around 7 or 8 million if it's lucky. Most of those probably already have the console btw.
Titanfall is at 3 million, MGS4 did 6 million, The Last of Us did 4.5 million, Uncharted 2 and 3 did about 6.3 million each. Are you saying that Destiny, a completely new franchise which may or may not even get a good review is gonna beat all of those? Keep in mind this is a new game with new mechanics and the games I listed were reusing old code and had many of their bugs ironed out already. Old franchises sell better than new ones at that. You are completely ignoring all of this and think its gonna blow up the console scene?

Comparing console FPSs to Wii games? What next, saying FPSs are rubbish becuase more people play mobile games? Also, only taking one platform for COD is wrong, it sold really well on multiple consoles whether you like it or not, and if it had been exclusive it would have easily been between 20 and 30 million.
Yes, Destiny should beat all of those games. Most aren't even FPSs meaning Destiny already has more potential fans since the FPS fanbase is the largest.

except in all of gaming history as far as single console games go, they haven't ever topped that 14 million number I pulled up. Grand Theft Auto San Andreas is at 20 million and that's a ridiculous comparison. It's ridiculous to think something like Destiny will even break the 8 million goal I set for it.
Destiny has some exclusive content on the PS4, that's all. I used those other games because they were the best selling shooting games I could think of for comparison. Actual FPS games has the top 15 occupied exclusively by Call of Duty and Halo selling from 8-13 million. Those were after the series had proven themselves. The original Halo sold 6 million, Call of Duty was.... worse.
