1. TTK sold amazing good...  it is a expansion that shows gamers wants more Destiny...

September NPD (bundles included): 713k
October NPD (bundles included): a bit over 200k

That only new players... you know TTK is a Expansion and not a new game... if you have Desitny why you will buy other disc?

Are you sure about what you wrote here?

2. Yes I beleive Bungies fans follwed Destiny instead Halo even on Xbone... and no matter if it is casual or youngers (not true because I play with die hard old Halo fans on Destiny).

3. Just look at your friend list to see people are playing Destiny (I'm sure if you have a Halo friend list you will find a lot of them playing Destiny)... and yes it is anedoctal.

4. No matter how the game is people are playing and liking it... btw the activies are well divided because you can play only PVP too... Bungie give us stats about what people play in Destiny and PVE and PVP are pretty close to each other... Iron Banner this week make the online play list back to old Destiny days before CoD, Fallout and Battlefront launch.

5. I played all Halo games included the last one called Halo 5... and I have different views of the quality of the old titles... Halo 2 campaign is way better than 4 or 5 for me... 3 is the best overall game and ODST is an amazing expansion... Reach have the best PVP modes to be fair.

Well I guess we disagree a lot.

But it is a no brainer Destiny took a lot of users from Halo even on Xbone.

TTK did not sell "amazing good." Its doing okay on X1 and PS4. Last gen players don't seem to care about it much. Getting us to buy Destiny was easy, getting us to come back... not so much.

I think a lot of people who played Destiny are Halo fans either now or at some point. However, I think die hard fans opted for X1 because it has Destiny and Halo. And for the reccord, most people who bought Destiny aren't playing Destiny anymore. Destiny is just something that came and went, its just not relevant in a significant way even between four consoles.

Maybe Halo declined because people have lost interest in Halo. Its also possible some Halo fans are waiting for the holidays. CoD and BF have declined, what do you blame for that? What game gets credit for those IPs decline? Also, what racer is gonna get credit for GT6's failure? Did GT fans move to Driveclub?
