I know that, but I don't think they're selling huge numbers regardless at this point. Especially Destiny belongs in a genre that is typically front-loaded.

My main point is that Amazon is a very poor gauge for how a game will do in actual sales, especially past first week and in addition, this is a time when there really isn't anything else on the horizon causing ripples to measure against. A good first week seems almost given with the marketing push, but like I wrote in my first post; I don't think it will have great legs.

Yeah, I know what you mean. I agree that people have too much faith in Amazon (admittedly I'm one of those people sometimes), but I think people are just grasping for anything to predict sales since we get numbers so scarcely these days.

If Nintendo continues to support the game post-launch window (which they seem to have committed to), I think it will have good legs seeing as though it's gotten good marketing and it's online-focused (many of Nintendo's online games have amazing legs). We'll just have to see though.


Indeed, it would be refreshing to see something other Call of Duty and Battlefield move decent numbers. I'm considering buying this myself perhaps near the holidays, it's dirt cheap here and looks like great fun!
