Considering how unreliable VGChartz has been since the beginning on this gen, you are asking a lot when you suggest we put faith in their numbers for Destiny. Especially when their numbers have been so skewed in favour of Xbox. Then you have to take into account the white PlayStation 4 Destiny bundle which seems to have stayed within the top 20 on Amazon.com since its reveal (higher than any Xbox SKU), and the fact that it can be presumed a lot of people will be going digital when it comes to Destiny. Neither of which are counted on this site.
I am a HUGE fan of physical media. I have bookshelves (plural) filled to bursting with books that are testament to this. Yet I am going digital with Destiny for multiple reasons. Firstly, it is an online-only game and so I feel it fits well, and secondly and most importantly, it is a game that is never going to be sold. By the time I am done with Destiny it will be worthless and so there is little reason to buy physical in hopes of selling it on later. I am guessing I am not the only person who feels this way.
You also have to consider the fact that mainstream advertising hasn't yet kicked in, although I expect it to do so imminently, and every single one of those adverts will show Destiny alongside PlayStation. The numbers will shift a lot more toward launch, and I expect PlayStation to receive a vast majority of those orders.
