| Darwinianevolution said: Destiny 2 has seen a dramatic decrease in sales numbers (even though it has sold a lot of units). People are angry with Activision with all that hype and dissapointment from the first one, so they talked with their wallets. It's just that, even if the game ends up selling half the amount of the original, it would still be a hit. |
Destiny 2 is launching on a smaller install base.
The first one came out on the PS3 and Xbox 360, putting the install base at around 200 million.
Destiny 2 only has about 90 million to work with, until PC comes into the mix.
NieR: Automata has done very well, and is a good example of a good game rising to the top, though, clearly not the top of the charts.
People are not blinded by marketing completely, they are still human.
But a lot of people don't have time to pay attention to what games are good, only what is in front of them.
That, is the stuff that is marketed extensively.
