It has sold only around 1.5M by now, and that game should need to sell north of 6M, IMO.

Steam is by far its strongest platform (reportedly 70% of the playerbase) and it has been getting worse every day since launch over there, PS5 and XBX it doesn't even chart on graphs.

It has been a huge failure so far, even as some people say it's actually an incredible game for people willing to play it for a long time, and that Bungie at least would like to keep it alive and updated for years, I don't see how Sony would be ok with letting it become and even bigger money loss by keeping it up.

Either they shake it up a lot by the middle of this year or I see little chance of it lasting much more than 6 months.

What is this based on?
