So Destiny, a new IP and one of the most expensive games in history, paid itself in just one day

We have no idea how much money Destiny cost. The quoted budget isn't for this game alone but for the franchise over the span of several years.

We also can't really say how much of Destiny's Day One sales are profit. Overhead that doesn't go to Activision has to be taken out of that $500M figure.
