As of 20th september global update;

Destiny PS4: 2,972,777

Mario Kart 8: 2,672,546

If you asked me back in March I would have said Mario Kart 8 and Titanfall will be the years highest selling single platform gamea. Colour me surprised... Next week it will overtake watchdogs.

The fact that MK8 sold as well as it did WITHOUT the insane hype-machine supporting it is a bigger story than The number of units sold for Destiny. I don't recall MK8 being mentioned on the news or various TV shows or even having a "special" Newsweek edition magazine on news stands. 

No need for hype when a game is on the market 20+ years. Destiny needed to make itself known. And as we can see it succeeded.

I would completely disagree with you on that. It needed major hype as a new release in the franchise especially considering the fact that the WiiU has not been burning up the console charts.
