is that ur thought, or did activision said that?

because the bungie accounts are linked to xbl or psn accounts. u can even use ur xbl or psn to log in.
and as u can play the game without an bungie account?, ofc there could be more unique destiny players, than overall bungie accounts

You can link you Bungie account to Facebook too... it is not PSN/XBL exclusive.

There are ~8.5m Bungie accounts... a lot not linked to any PSN/XBL.

To play without an bungie account you need just turn the game and play it lol

9.5m are the number of players registered to Destiny's servers... not Bungie's accounts... that means if you bought the game, played it, traded it, and other guy bought it again... it will count like two registered users and only one copy sold... same for "family" or friend sharing... one copy can have two or three guys playing.

Said that... 1.5m for multiples accounts is a lot... so I estimate ~8m sales right now.
