No. Not even close. Right now it is just the most hyped game for several reason. Next big game out before november, Playstation players who find the game very unique beause they never played Halo before and... because the game is good (not super awesomely good) and deserves some hype anyway.

Now, in november, COD will do like every year and face roll Destiny like any other FPS...


Destiny is expected to sell 15+ million by the end of the year.  Thats a pretty steep face for call of duty to roll over...

 

also, Destiny is super awesomely good, dont know what you are talking about...

Forecasts and predictions are their best :)
Even this super awesomely good game will not reach 15M.

The only reason would be to  not have any other great games out at the same time before november (it is after all one of the reasons I mentionned why people are so hyped right now; they are just bored and it is the only good game on their radar during this summer because it comes out in early sept.) just on Xbox One: we have Dragon Age, Halo in november, Alien, Sunset overdrive... No way people are going to get crazy for more than 2 months about an over hyped game.

But the game will sell well and I think it will actually be close to COD but it will certainly NOT disintegrate it.


I agree that it wont disintegrate it like the op is saying.  They will be really close, probably, but I do think Destiny will edge out call of duty barely.  Also, you have to take into account the op isnt the best at english, he probably just used poor wording, or it could be hyperbole...

 

anyway, I definitely dont agree destiny is overhyped.  I was pretty meh on it when they first showing gameplay videos.  It just seemed like halo with some loot.  Which you know, isnt really bad, but i kind of just felt like it was another halo game.  I was probably going to buy it, but my hype was very low.  I kind of got halo'd out when reach was released.  Then I actually got to play the game.  Holy crap my hype level went through the roof.  The game is freaking fantastic and has become one my most anticipated games in a very long time, probably since mass effect 3.

the point being, I personally feel it deserves all the hype it is getting.  And yes, people will be going crazy for it for more than two months after it is released.  Any game that can sell almost 10 million on launch week alone is going to have some good legs, and bungie has some long term plans in place to keep thise legs goin...
