| RolStoppable said: I didn't expect Switch to be above the PS4 this month. Probably means that Destiny 2 massively underperformed in shifting PS4 hardware. The first Destiny pushed the PS4 above 500k in September 2014, the sequel probably didn't even push it above 300k. More importantly though, Switch is set to be #1 in the USA most of the time in the future. The PS4 inherits the position of the Xbox One that could only win the occasional NPD month. Xbox One is stuck in the mud. |
I think D2's only potential, substantial sales bump would be during the holidays. It feels like the D2 player base is currently comprised on D1 players who already have a PS4. That being said, a flashy, whizbang, Michael Bay-esque ad campaign for BF and X-Mas could turn some heads.
Now that Switch is finally available and cleared the backlogs, we can get a real sense of MoM sales and system-seller bumps. It's been too long that we had no idea what moves the needle and how much.
What's an XBox One? The green thing in my living room?
