My prediction is that the beta will leave people disappointed, upfront sales will remain good (2 million across all platforms' first week combined), Xmas sales will be average at best (3.5 million by the end of 2014) and the legs will be the ones suffering the most (4.5-5.5 million by the end of 2015)

You're expecting less than Watch Dogs sold in a week by Christmas?

Hmm.  All the buzz, especially from BenV, is suggesting this is going to be miles bigger than Watch Dogs..  

And WD was a great example of showing how people on the internet analyse a game and say it looks bad and then it goes to smash sales expectations.  Real world =/= the internet.

So personally, I don't think Destiny will sell as badly as you're predicting.  Not by a long way.

 

I'll eventually update my prediction end of June, when the impressions of the beta will not be as conditionned as now

I expect the reviews to be similar to Watch Dogs but the hype seems to be dying much faster for Destiny

Also Watch Dogs came out when current gens users are "hungry" and the menu list is short, Destiny is coming out when the menu list is almost saturated.
