Shipped numbers pulled in about $500mil in the first 24...it has easily made its money back by now

They need to sell, and remember that retailers are taking a big chunk of those profits so its not 500$ mil back to Acti on its investment.

"Since the beginning, we’ve been confident that our investment and belief in Destiny would pay off. But not many people believed we’d be able to say it did so on day one,”

Activision already claimed that it made back their investment (which wasn't 500mil$ btw)

PS: Activision doesn't need those games to sell to make money off of them. They get money when the game is sold to the stores...
