Even the news is covering this games release, that is something usually reserved for games like GTA. This is going to be huge.

Two games to go.
The FF is not dead, XIV is doing great even after the initial failure. Square Enix doesn't care nearly as much about a hugely risky single player FF as much as they do about the mmo which will provide revenue for years and years. You are just sentimentally attached and it's making you angry that Square isn't interested in making frequent AAA entries to the series.
Destiny will be at 8-10 million sales before good or bad word of mouth hits for the final release. So in that sense it litterally cannot flop. It can disappoint (not be a 10 year game) but flopping is already out of the question.
End of 2009 Predictions (Set, January 1st 2009)
Wii- 72 million 3rd Year Peak, better slate of releases
360- 37 million Should trend down slightly after 3rd year peak
PS3- 29 million Sales should pick up next year, 3rd year peak and price cut
So, what's the verdict here? Is the OP right or wrong about Destiny being a flop?
"I don't think FPS could make it big on the next generation again."
Could this actually be true? Does the floppiness of Destiny prove that the reign of the FPS is over?
Inquiring minds want to know! :O

| Sleepyprince said: - Destiny : A fps again. From what I saw, there's no real differences between Destiny and Borderlands 2. It's pretty much the same concept except it is now in a lively kind of open world. Everyone and their mother speak about the RPG aspects of Destiny but if you all go this way, even black ops is a kind of RPG. You earn exp, you improve your weapon, you can customise your stuff and characters... A lot of shit can be labeled as RPG nowaday I don't think FPS could make it big on the next generation again. Titanfall was pretty much everything that call of duty and battlefield wasn't. It was next gen, fun, fast paced, entertaining and all, and still the game is somewhat a flop. Of course Destiny is technicaly beatiful, but artisticaly it's the kind of art direction that can push mainstream audiene away. As a gamer, and a curious one, I did not see a thing in Destiny that can appeal to me. To me, from everything I saw - except powers - I see no difference between Shadowfall and Destiny gameplay wise. |
The Destiny success story continues with 2.43 million units sold in the US in its first week. That is the biggest opening of the year and the biggest for a new IP in gaming history.
LOL, everything is wrong :P
FF XV is a visual masterpiece, new gameplay looks frikkin cool, true next gen game in my opinion
The Last Guardian is a question, but with the Ps4 fans increasing, it will probably sell 2m minimum, so not a flop either
don't mind my username, that was more than 10 years ago, I'm a different person now, amazing how people change ^_^
LMAOooooooooooo
I love seeing you guys eat crow........
Destiny a failure ????
Hahahahahahahahaahha

But GTA V maelstrom exists and a lot of PS4ONE owners are waiting for it to be released on next gen. GTA V is somewhat the final open world for a whole generation of gamers. Watch dogs is a new ip, the realisation is meh, the concept is kind of hard to understand, people don't give a fuck about hackers and everyone had understand by now that Watch dogs is not Assassin's creed successor. It's a whole different thing. Community, three games to go. |
I think you are the FLOP, no offence.
