You are not.

There is 8.5m bungie accounts and over 9.5m unique PSN/XBL accounts registred in the game.

PS. Unless you come to a friend home and created a character in his Destiny copy with your PSN/XBL to count like a Destiny registered user.

A lot from these 8.5m bungie accounts never played Destiny too

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

I think you're likely both correct.

Activision would be including people who linked their PSN and Xbox Live accounts to Bungie - thats everyone that played the Alpha and Beta.

Then you'd have multiple players on consoles, multiple traded in copies etc.

If the sold numbers were incredible, they'd just have told us those instead.

On topic

Hopefully they can deliver a game that more people are happy with the second time around, or it will be a much smaller (and shorter) franchise than they've told us the last few years.
